Aakash Chopra talked a lot about COVID-19 cases in India while making his way to the microblogging site. Meanwhile, he also asked fans for feedback.
Aakash Chopra went ahead and talked about the deadly cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in India and also wondered if there could be more cases in the country. The dangerous COVID-19 is spreading its tentacles around the world. Many sporting events have been postponed or canceled because of this. The bilateral ODI series between India and South Africa was postponed to a later date, while the 13th edition of the IPL, which was scheduled to start on 29 March, was postponed to 15 April.

On the microblogging site, Aakash Chopra wrote that he had read the accounts of many other COVID-19 positive people who were flying, exercising through India’s states, and by public transport. The cricketer-turned-commentator/analyst went on to mention that it was a miracle that India only had 125 positive cases or we simply weren’t testing enough people. Chopra then asked if there were any experts who could provide transparent data on this.
Meanwhile, many netizens did their best to answer the question of the former test cricketer. Here are some of the reactions.

This was demonstrated by CS Naik, executive director of MCA.
