Sruyakumar shared a template post on Instagram, which read: "Educate your son and your brothers and your father and your husband and your friends".

Suryakumar isn't the first player who has reacted to the tragedy. Other star players like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami and Jemimah Rodrigues have also spoken against the tragedy.
