“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 the necessary protocols as advised by my doctor,” the batting maestro added.
“I want to thank all the healthcare professionals who are supporting me and many others across the country. Take care all of you,” he concluded.
Tendulkar scored 15,921, the most runs in Test cricket history. His 18,426 in ODIs is also the most by anyone in the format. The 47-year-old is also the only one to have hit 100 centuries in international cricket.
