Learning from Test cricket to help fight coronavirus
In a recent interview, the master blaster has asked India to keep up the fight against COVID-19. Sachin has asked people to tackle the coronavirus pandemic by taking inspiration from cricket’s oldest format – Test cricket. According to the Indian legend, Test cricket rewards one for their patience. When a batter is playing in a country for the first time, he might not understand the pitch conditions or the bowlers. In such a case, defence becomes the best form of attack. Similarly, it’s patience and self-defence that is required now to combat coronavirus.
Sachin is really petrified for the fact that the entire world of sports has come to a standstill due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tendulkar further said that just like long partnerships are needed for victory in Test cricket, it’s the partnership, understanding and cooperation between people that is needed to overcome the current situation.
Attitudinal change needed to combat coronavirus
Sachin Tendulkar pressed upon the fact that the Novel Coronavirus is something that the world and India is yet to understand. Countries having highest coronavirus cases are those that didn’t take precautions at the right time. A mere attitudinal change of what we’re facing is beyond our collective comprehension will be a great help in tackling the scenario. It’s similar to respecting a bowler and not going after him when a batsman can’t read him at all.
Sachin has stressed that we do not just need to look after ourselves but also be considerate towards the ones around us. We might be having a strong immunity. But by not taking precautions, we might act as a carrier of the virus to the ones having a weaker immunity. So, this needs to be a give and take process.

According to Sachin, a positive mindset and cooperation among all countries can help in overcoming the pandemic.
The current pandemic is nothing but a Test match – A match where the entire world is up against the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus. It will last longer. Both sides will resist. But the one with the right attitude will go the distance. The world is up against a real test of time.
