Sachin Tendulkar hospitalised as COVID-19 precautionary measure
Sachin Tendulkar is the legendary cricket from Team India and the greatest of all time. He retired from all forms of cricket in 2016. He continues to make occasional appearances in cricket, mostly playing for a charitable cause. He was recently diagnosed with COVID-19.
Former Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar is still the most worshipped cricketer in India, as he continues to remain the greatest cricketer of all time. Having retired from the sport entirely in 2016, Tendulkar is still involved in the sport somehow, especially for charitable causes.
However, recently, Tendulkar was diagnosed to be COVID positive. Although he has been self-isolating since then, he was hospitalised on Thursday as a precautionary measure.
Tendulkar took to his social media handles on Friday to update on the same. "Thank you for your wishes and prayers. As a matter of abundant precaution under medical advice, I have been hospitalised. I hope to be back home in a few days. Take care and stay safe, everyone. Wishing all Indians & my teammates on the 10th anniversary of our World Cup win," he wrote.
Tendulkar took part in the Road Safety World Series Twenty20 tournament last month, along with some other former Indian cricketers. He represented India Legends, as the side won in the final, beating Sri Lanka Legends.
Tendulkar became the fourth Indian cricketer after Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan and Subramaniam Badrinath to test positive for COVID. Furthermore, his recent update turned out to be poignant, as India celebrated its tenth anniversary of the ICC World Cup 2011 title win.
