Tendulkar who was a part of the Road Safety World Series Challenge was one of the four players - Irfan and Yusuf Pathan and S Badrinath – to test positive for the virus on March 27.

As the number of cases is increasing, the government of Maharashtra has induced tighter restrictions, but the government has made it clear that the IPL matches to be held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai won’t be affected by the night curfews imposed all over the state.
