Maharashtra remains one of the worst-affected states with plenty of positive Covid-19 cases, including that of Sachin Tendulkar.

He wrote, “I have been testing myself and taking all the recommended precautions to ensure Covid is kept at bay.  However, I’ve tested positive today following mild symptoms. All others at home have tested negative.  I’ve quarantined myself at home and am following all protocols as advised by my doctors. I want to thank all the healthcare professionals who are supporting me and many others across the country. Take care – all of you.”

 

Sachin Tendulkar was last seen on the cricket field during the recently-concluded Road Safety World Series in Raipur. The Master Blaster led the eventual winner-India Legends and ended as the side’s leading run-getter with 233 runs. Having gone through various tests during the course of the tournament, it has come as a surprise as the former cricketer has tested positive for the virus.

The 47-year-old said that he tested himself after experiencing mild symptoms and is following the protocols advised by doctors. As of now, everyone else in his home has tested negative. The former India cricketer got himself tested recently on his return from Raipur, where he had gone to play Road Safety Cricket Series. The India legends side, led by him had won the Road Safety Cricket Series by defeating Sri Lanka in the final.
