Sachin Tendulkar, who is currently in home quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19, seemed in quite a jovial mood when we underwent the test for the viral infection.
In a video where Sachin is undergoing a routine coronavirus test ahead of their match against England Legends, has gone viral on social media, as the ace cricketer is seen playing a prank on the medical staff member who did the test on him.
As the paramedic took the nasal swab from the legendary batsman, he screamed, pretending to be in pain. The staff member was taken aback before Tendulkar smiled, revealing he was acting, drawing some laughs from the back.
