“The fight against COVID-19 has been like the last Test match that India played. There were lots of ups and downs, but our frontline warriors have taken blows, batted long and finally kept the team from collapsing,” the note read.
“As we thank them and pray for a successful vaccination drive, remember: the series isn’t over and we shouldn’t be careless now.”
Tendulkar further stressed that it is not the time to drop our guards in this fight against the coronavirus and urged everyone to maintain social distancing and follow the directives issued by the government.
