Hyderabad: After Sachin Tendulkar, former India all-rounder Yusuf Pathan on Saturday said that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently in home isolation.
Earlier in the day, Tendulkar has confirmed that he had tested positive for COVID.
Both the former cricketers, who played in the Road Saftey World series, confirmed the news on their social media handles.
"I have been testing myself and taking all the recommended precautions to ensure COVID is kept at bay. However, I have tested positive today following mild symptoms," Tendulkar wrote on his Twitter handle.

"All others at home have tested negative. I have quarantined myself at home and I am following all the necessary protocols as advised by my doctors. I want to thank all the healthcare professionals who are supporting me and many others across the country. Take care all of you," he further wrote in his official statement.
Later in the evening, Yusuf, who last month announced retirement from all formats of the game, said he has also tested positive for the highly contagious virus.
"I've tested positive for COVID-19 today with mild symptoms. Post the confirmation, I have quarantined myself at home and taking all the necessary precautions and medication required," Yusuf tweeted.
