While it was an unforeseen break, Rahane said he is looking to make the most of it by staying indoors and spending time with family.

"First of all, definitely this is a sad thing, which is happening. But, looking at the positive side, I'm getting time to spend with my daughter and family. My daughter is six-and-a-half months old, I'm lucky to be with her," he said.

Rahane also spoke about the need to remain mentally and physically fit even though the lockdown has forced people to stay indoors.
