Germany-based Mayur Dalal excels in the flexible movements of mallakhamb but even he would not have expected the twists of fate brought about by the global Coronavirus pandemic in his country of work.

Germany is the fifth country after China, Italy, USA and Spain, where over 30,000 cases of Coronavirus have been found. Hamburg-based Dalal, who is Germany's World Mallakhamb Championship bronze medal-winning all-rounder, returned to his hometown, Amravati in the Vidarbha region in the first week of February.
