Chhetri sets 'real-life captains' to his Twitter account

Indian national football team captain Sunil Chhetri had stated that he is giving his Twitter account access to 'real-life captain' so that they could share information for coronavirus patients.

In a 57-second video posted on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) website, captain Chhetri said "There are some real-life captains who are doing some extraordinary and phenomenal work (in the battle against the pandemic). They give me hope and a lot of motivation, and I want to join them."

"I want to give the access of my Twitter account to a few of these captains, so that important information can be amplified and reach as many people as possible. I am on your team," the 36-year-old added.

Chhetri had tested positive for COVID last month and then he returned FC to a 5-0 win against Nepal's Tribhuvan Army FC in AFC Cup match on April 14.

"Our country is going through difficult times. The pain, suffering, and loss all around us are depressing and tragic. Amidst all of this, there are so many of us who have helped - helped each other and helped complete strangers."

"We all need to participate. No matter who you are, help in whichever way you can," Chhetri, who was awarded the Padma Shri in 2019, stated.
