Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar’s birthday falls on this Friday, 24th of April. The great cricketer will turn 47 on this day.
No Celebrations To Show Respect For Frontline Workers
But Sachin has decided not to celebrate his birthday in the wake of the corona health crisis. He does not want to celebrate the special day as a mark of respect to the frontline workers at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus, a source close to the batsman informed.
“Sachin has decided that this is not the time for celebrations. He feels that this is the best tribute he can pay to all the doctors, nurses, paramedics, policemen, defense personnel, who are at the frontline,” the source said.
The source also said that Sachin was uncomfortable talking about this topic. “He has always been very uncomfortable talking about this aspect,” the source said.
A spokesperson to Tendulkar added that the medical staff is playing on their front foot now and Sachin wanted to support them. The person further said that no one wanted Sachin to get out while he was batting and in the same way the maestro does not want to go out on his birthday or does not want anyone to go out.
“The medical staff is playing on the front foot and they are the heroes of the country today. He wants to bat for them now,” the spokesperson said.
“When he was batting, no one wanted him to get out, now he will not get out on his birthday. He is also requesting everyone not to get out.”
