My request will remain the same, PLEASE STAY AT HOME. #SocialDistancing is the only cure for Covid 19,&quot; tweeted Kohli.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBCCI President Sourav Ganguly also urged all to stay at home and said that citizens across the world should listen to what their government says.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Let&#39;s fight this together .. we will get over this. Be sensible and do not try things. Listen to what the state government says,&quot; he said in a video tweet.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAce Test spinner Ravichandran Ashwin also tweeted in support of the move. &quot;3 weeks it is ... let&#39;s stay indoors India. I repeat the consequences of irresponsible community behaviour over the next 3 weeks could cost us 2 decades. Well done @narendramodi ji. Now let&#39;s follow instructions rather than moaning and giving our own opinions,&quot; Ashwin said in a tweet.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nVeteran spinner Harbhajan Singh spoke about the move in English, Hindi and Tamil. &quot;These 21 days could be the most important days of our lives..as individuals and as a country.. so please be responsible citizens, sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, brothers and sisters! Our only chance to stop this #Corona ! #staysafe #stayhome @narendramodi,&quot; tweeted Harbhajan.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTest batting stalwart Cheteshwar Pujara said: &quot;As advised by our honourable PM Shri @narendramodi ji I urge each and everyone to stay at home and do your part to help curb the pandemic #StayHome #StaySafe #IndiaFightsCorona.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPM Modi announced in an address to the country a 21-day lockdown starting from Tuesday midnight.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHe said this is an essential step to fight coronavirus decisively. He added that saving lives is priority as of now.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;With folded hands, I request you to stay put wherever you are,&quot; said Prime Minister Modi. He added that he is mindful of the economic ramifications of it. However, this is a smaller concern.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPM Modi warned, that if the citizens don&#39;t follow a complete lockdown for the coming 21 days, the nation will go back 21 years and many families will be devastated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
