Team India all-rounder Krunal Pandya has thanked all of his well-wishers, as well as doctors and other healthcare workers, after recovering from COVID-19.
The Indian cricketer contracted the virus during the limited-overs series in Sri Lanka, which forced him and eight of his close contacts into isolation. Krunal Pandya, Yuzvendra Chahal and K Gowtham had to stay back in Sri Lanka even after the series got over as they had tested COVID-positive.Krunal Pandya returned to Mumbai on Thursday after successfully testing negative. On Friday, he took to his social media handles and shared a picture while showing the thumbs-up sign, indicating that all is well with his health.
Sharing a thank you message, Krunal Pandya wrote:
“Thank you for your wishes everyone. They kept me going. I’m completely fine now, thanks to all the efforts of the doctors and healthcare workers. Special mention to everyone at BCCI and Sri Lankan Cricket for all that they’ve done for me. Forever grateful.”
The Baroda all-rounder had tested positive ahead of the second T20I against Sri Lanka, which forced the match to be postponed by a day. Since eight other players were also asked to go into isolation after being identified as close contacts of Krunal Pandya, India were severely weakened going into the last two matches of the T20I series.
