"I request @YUVSTRONG12 and @harbhajan_singh to make a video for the minorities living in Pakistan as well. They need your help in this moment of #coronacrisis," Kaneria said in a tweet.

India's 2011 World Cup heroes Yuvraj and Harbhajan paired up with Shahid Afridi earlier to help those in need during the pandemic which has rocked the world.

The pair were criticised on social media for helping Afridi but they both shot back.

Yuvraj reacted to the backlash saying he didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings and all he tried was to help people suffering due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"No religion, no cast, only humanity...that's what it is...stay safe stay home...spread love not hate or virus...let's pray for every single one...May Waheguru bless us all," he wrote along with the video.COVID-19: Kaneria asks Yuvraj, Bhajji to help minorities in Pakistan
