The coronavirus pandemic is far from over despite the fact that the Indian government is conducting the vaccination drive on a full swing. What is more worrisome is the fact that the number of COVID-19 positive patients is increasing at a very high rate. People are more scared as the new variant of COVID-19 has been reported in 18 states of India and it is more harmful than the previous one.
Many Indian celebrities also joined the government last year in order to educate people about COVID-19 and requested them to follow the safety guidelines such as remaining indoors, going out only if very necessary, wearing mask, maintaining social distancing whenever out of house, washing hands regularly, using sanitizers, etc. The legendary Indian cricketer Bharat Ratna Awardee Sachin Tendulkar was also one of those celebrities but recently he informed through his social media account that he had been tested COVID-19 positive and asked everyone who came in contact with him in the recent past to get tested.
Sachin Tendulkar tweeted that though he tried his best to keep COVID-19 away by following all the precautions and getting himself tested, he had been tested positive with mild symptoms. He has also informed that his family members have tested negative and he has self-isolated himself at home.

Soon people started wishing him a speedy recovery but few hours after Sachin’s announcement, the former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen made a tweet which gave an impression as if he was taking a jibe at Little Master. In his tweet, KP asks whether anyone can tell him the need to tell the world that the person is COVID positive.
KP’s tweet read, “Can someone please tell me, why you need to announce it to the world, that you have Covid?!”

The tweet was noticed by many but the former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh chose to reply and he asked KP why he thought of it today and not before.
And how come you thought of this today and not before ? 🧐
