There is a reason we call Nurses as 'Sister'
The care they show towards patients is no less than of a sister. I know when I was hospitalized in past, I had no words to thank them enough. Big salute to them for what they do and more power to them!#InternationalNursesDay

4. Kevin Pietersen feels that the England players will prefer to play the IPL when it is restarted

It’s going to be v interesting to watch how the ECB handle this issue around not allowing it’s best players to play IPL, if it’s rescheduled.
When I went up against ENG, I was alone.
This time, it’s all their best branded players!
If they stand together, they’ll play IPL!
