The 21-day lockdown across India has also prevented fans from going outside themselves and indulging in sports.

Desperate times call for innovative solutions.

While some fans are busy catching up on movies or reading, some have resorted to playing board games like chess, ludo. A few have taken to playing cricket indoors.
