Indian cricketer Veda Krishnamurthy opened up to what she and her family went through after she lost her mother and sister to Covid-19 in May. 

Detailing her trauma to ESPNcricinfo, Veda said that she really hoped that her sister would come back home. But when she didn't, Veda was completely destroyed and her family was broken to pieces. The 28-year-old added that she still had to put up a brave face for the rest of the family. What she had to do in those testing couple of weeks was learn to tune herself out of grief. But it keeps coming back to haunt her. 

9 members of Krishnamurthy's family battled the disease and her mother and sister passed away within two weeks of each other.
