As Mahendra Singh Dhoni celebrates his 39th birthday on Tuesday, the Mumbai police's official handle came up with a unique way to wish the cricketing great who owns a home in the city.
The Mumbai police used the cricketer's initials MSD to denote 'maintain social distancing' and create awareness among Mumbaikars to be careful and thwart the pandemic's evil designs.
'Do it the 'Mahi Way - Stay 'Not Out, Stay Cool & Stump #coronavirus. Happy Birthday, Captain Cool,' the Mumbai police tweeted.
Mumbai continues to be the worst affected city in India, but the numbers don't always tell the story.
