Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Shikha Pandey are among the Indian cricketers who have received the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
India's top cricketers are among many athletes in the world who have begun obtaining vaccinations, including those who have qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, after the Indian government opened the vaccination campaign to those aged 18 and above on May 1.
The announcement of getting first jab of vaccination comes only a week after the BCCI was forced to postpone the IPL 2021 due to several cases of Covid infections affecting various teams. The Indian men's and women's teams will travel to the United Kingdom on a charter flight on June 2.
