India is fighting a tough battle with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The country is daily reporting over four lakh positive coronavirus cases while thousands are losing their lives. Many people have lost their loved ones to Covid-19 and that has left them completely shattered.

One among them is India’s women cricket team player. Veda’s family has been hit hard by the deadly virus as over the past few months she has lost both her mother and sister. Veda’s mother left her on April 23 and her sister Vatsala Shivakumar, who was admitted to a hospital in Chikmagalur, Karnataka, breathed her last only two weeks later.

Veda is a senior player in India’s National Women Cricket team and thus far has featured in 48 One Day Internationals and 76 T20 Internationals scoring 829 and 875 runs respectively. As the 28-year-old is coping up with two major personal losses, she took to her official Twitter handle to bid an emotional adieu to her mother and sister.

In a heartfelt note dedicated to her mother and sister, Veda wrote that the last few days have been the toughest for her as both her mother and sister were her inspiration and always found their joy in her happiness.

Further, the cricketer also urged all the citizens to strictly follow all the rules and protocols to protect themselves from the novel coronavirus. She admitted that the virus is very dangerous while showing her empathy towards people who are suffering from a personal loss just like her.
