COVID-19 cases are rising again in some parts of India. States like Kerala, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh have reported more than 250 active cases. Because of this, safety measures are coming back into focus, even in the IPL. After Mumbai Indians (MI) beat Delhi Capitals (DC) in their last league match at Wankhede Stadium, MI owner Nita Ambani reminded the players about basic COVID protocols. MI won the match by 59 runs and secured a spot in the playoffs. The win also knocked Delhi out of the tournament.

Bumrah smiled and followed her request. Then, she did the same for leg-spinner Karn Sharma. Photos of Nita Ambani sanitizing players’ hands quickly went viral on social media.

The moment touched many fans who praised her care and responsibility. MI all-rounder Deepak Chahar also helped by offering hand sanitizer to players from both teams. Even MI captain Hardik Pandya followed safety by using fist bumps instead of handshakes to thank the ground staff.
