Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar has been hospitalised after testing positive for the novel Coronavirus infection a few days back. Tendulkar tweeted the development expressing hope of his return from the hospital very soon.
He also extended best wishes to his countrymen and fans on the 10th anniversary of India’s second World Cup win in 2011.
Notably, Tendulkar has returned from the Road Safety World Series where he was the skipper of the champion Indian Legends team. He was the first player to have tested positive for the virus and then others players such as Yusuf Pathan, S Badrinath, Irfan Pathan also returned positive.
On the other hand, today marks a complete decade of India’s World Cup win in 2011 under the leadership of MS Dhoni. Winning the World Cup was the only big elusive thing for Tendulkar for a long time.
He had featured in five World Cups before the 2011 edition which was always supposed to be the last one in his career. Thankfully for him and the whole of India, the team rose to the occasion and won the glittering trophy to give a perfectly fitting tribute to Tendulkar on April 2, 2011.
