Amid Coronavirus, almost every sporting event has met the fate of suspension. And due to it, sports personalities are looking for different ways to keep themselves busy in the self-isolation period. They seem to have quite a free time, so many players are trying to head towards social media to engage with their fans and followers.
India cricketer Shreyas Iyer also falls in the abovementioned category as he recently took to Twitter to engage in a question and answer session with his fans.
“Haven’t done a Q&A on Twitter before, and what better time than now,” Iyer wrote on Twitter.

During the session, Iyer answered many questions. He was also quizzed to describe current India captain Virat Kohli and former India skipper MS Dhoni.
When Iyer was asked to share his views on the talismanic keeper-batsman, the Mumbai batsman had only words of praises for Dhoni.
Iyer described MSD as: “Cool, calm, consistent, and a true leader.”
