India cricket great Sachin Tendulkar pulled off a prank on the medical staff while undergoing his COVID-19 test. He is currently leading the India Legends side in the ongoing Road Safety World Series T20.
The players have to undergo regular COVID-19 tests for their safety and to ensure the tournament goes on without any trouble. Tendulkar shared a video of his Corona test on Instagram.
The 47-year-old jokingly wrote that he has played 200 Tests for India, but it has been surpassed by the number of his COVID-19 Tests which is 277. "I've played 200 Tests and 277 COVID Tests!", he wrote.
Tendulkar tried to lighten up everyone's mood with a funny prank during the test. He pretended to be hurt by the nose swab test before smiling at the medical staff's reaction. Everyone around him burst into laughter seeing this side of the cricket legend.
"A little prank to lighten the mood.???? Kudos to our medical staff here for helping us to play for a cause! #RoadSafetyWorldSeries," he added in the caption.
India Legends will play England Legends on March 9 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur.
