There's been singing, sweeping and cooking in the residences of Mumbai's finest as the lockdown continues.

With more than a month into the lockdown enforced due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Mumbai's cricketers have turned to social media to provide a glimpse of their lives.
While mopping and sweeping the floor may have humanised these stars, others have provided a much-needed diversion in what has been a difficult time.
Here's a look at what's going on.
A cut above the rest
Considered a master of square cuts during his playing days, Sachin Tendulkar has been trying his hand out with a very different type of 'cut' during the lockdown. The legendary batsman took to the internet to show off the new haircut he gave himself.
And if that wasn't enough, the T20 Mumbai League Ambassador also put his green thumb on display by watering his plants.

The (lip) syncing feeling
While the lockdown is serious business, T20 Mumbai title-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav provided some comic relief with his dubs. And the message of safety and bravado wasn't lost either.

Sweepshots
But it's been serious business as well. The lockdown hasn't only brought families together, it has encouraged them to share household chores. It's an unusual position for these professional cricketers to be in, but these are extraordinary times.
Song and dance, and a little magic
But you can take a bat away from these cricketers, and they will continue to entertain. From shaking a leg to weaving magic, Shreyas Iyer knows how to work it.
If there's dancing, there has to be singing as well. Vinod Kambli broke out his rendition of Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' and Raj Kapoor's 'Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai' to keep his reputation as a crooner as well.
No flash in the pan
The hiatus from cricket has turned Iqbal Abdulla into a culinary enthusiast. Spicy crab was on the menu when the all-rounder donned the chef's hat while at home during the lockdown. He shared a video of him preparing the dish shared with the caption, "Live life with a little spice."
Health and family
No gyms, no excuses. Pardeep Sahu continued his fitness regimen amid the lockdown, from keeping his bowling arm active to involving his little daughter in his workout, ticking both health and family at one go.
Lockdown glimpse
Jay Bista managed to spare a smile contrasting with the glimpse of the beautiful but desolate Marine Drive as a backdrop. Perhaps nothing sums up the coronavirus-induced lockdown more than this post.
