Delhi Police leveraged Rohit Sharma’s ‘helmet pehen le’ video to talk about road safety.
During the ongoing Test series between India and England, team India captain Rohit Sharma advised Sarfaraz Khan to wear a helmet before fielding. He even stopped Kuldeep Yadav from delivering the ball until he put the gear on. The incident took place when Sarfaraz decided to field at the close-in position without wearing a helmet. Delhi Police used this video of Rohit Sharma to raise awareness about road safety.
