India cricket captain Virat Kohli shared a picture on his Instagram story on Monday of him getting a COVID-19 shot.
The cricketing superstar also urged others to get vaccinated “as soon as you can”.
Another Indian cricketer, Ishant Sharma, too took to social media to share the news of him getting vaccinated.
Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma last week announced that they were organising a campaign to raise funds for COVID-19 relief work in India.
Virat and Anushka themselves donated ₹2 crore to the campaign and urged others to “come together and help our India”.
A day later, the star couple revealed that the campaign had received ₹3.6 crore in donations in just 24 hours, saying he was overwhelmed with the response.
“Thankful for this and grateful for all the essential workers. Happy to see the smooth running of the facility & management. Let’s all get vaccinated at the earliest,” Ishant Sharma wrote on Twitter.
