Kevin Pietersen's Tweet on COVID-19 Hours After Sachin Tendulkar's Announcement Raises Eyebrows

Kevin Pietersen’s tweet raising questions on why people have to ‘announce to the world’ that they’ve got COVID-19 hours after Sachin Tendulkar made his announcement raised eyebrows on social media. Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh was among the ones to question Pietersen’s timing.

Pietersen later said he was unaware of Tendulkar testing positive for the virus and wished the former batsman a speedy recovery. Yuvraj too clarified that he was just pulling Pietersen’s leg.

Here’s the twitter exchange.

Legendary India batsman Sachin Tendulkar has tested positive for Covid-19, he announced on social media on Saturday. In the post, he mentioned that he had been experiencing mild symptoms. He also said that all his family members have tested negative.

Recently, Tendulkar had participated in the Road Safety World Series, where he lead the team to title win. In the tournament, he performed exceptionally well and scored two fifties for his side.

Tendulkar had also uploaded a video where he pranks the medical staff taking his Covid-19 test. In the post, he went on to say that he had undertaken 277 tests, while had played 200 Tests for India.

As far as the final of the Road Safety World Series is concerned, an all-round show by Yusuf Pathan helped India Legends beat Sri Lanka Legends by 14 runs.
