Get well soon, Sach
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar is currently in hospital with Covid-19.
The Indian icon tested positive for the virus last week, and tweeted on Friday to confirm that he had gone to hospital “as a matter of abundant precaution under medical advice.”
“I hope to be back home in a few days. Take care and stay safe everyone,” he added.
Tendulkar then added his best wishes to all Indians on the 10th anniversary of their World Cup win.
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.
