Legendary former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday revealed that he is covid positive. Putting out a statement through his social media handles, the Master Blaster said that he has been adhering to all covid-related precautions and getting tested regularly. Yet, the virus couldn't be kept at bay.

Sachin is suffering from mild symptoms. After he started showing symptoms, he and his family got themselves tested, and the rest of the family members testing negative.

The former skipper has currently isolated himself at home. "I am following all the necessary protocols as advised by my doctors. I want to thank all the healthcare professionals who are supporting me and many others across the country," Sachin said in the statement.

Meanwhile, BCCI today remembered Sachin's brilliant innings on this day in 1994. "Sachin opened the innings in the ODIs for the first time and blazed his way to 82 off 49 balls as #TeamIndia took on New Zealand in Auckland. The rest, as they say, is history," the Board tweeted.
