Virat Kohli gets shot of Covid-19 vaccine, urges everyone to stay safe

India Cricket Team Captain Virat Kohli on Monday received his first shot of covid-19 vaccine and urged everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Kohli posted a picture of himself getting the jab on his Instagram story and captioned, "Vaccinate as soon as you can please. Stay safe."

In their bid to help the nation fight the pandemic, Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma have started a fundraiser campaign. The couple collaborated with crowd-funding platform Ketto for the campaign #InThisTogether and has donated Rs 2 crore for this initiative.

Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were the first team to have a match postponed due to Covid-19 cases within the bio-bubble that was created for the 2021 IPL. RCB's match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was postponed May 3 after two KKR players tested positive for Covid-19. With more cases emerging within the bubbles in Ahmedabad and New Delhi, the tournament itself was postponed indefinitely.
