Watch: Sachin Tendulkar urges fans to donate plasma on his 48th birthday

“Last year, I had inaugurated a plasma donation centre. It was their message, if plasma is given at right time, patients can recover faster. When permissible, I am doing to donate. I have had a talk with doctors relating to that. To people who have recovered from Covid-19, you should also consult your doctor and when permissible donate blood,” the Little Master said in the video. Earlier this month, the 48-year-old was hospitalised after testing positive for Covid-19.

Thank you everyone for your warm wishes. It’s made my day special. I am very grateful indeed.

Take care and stay safe. pic.twitter.com/SwWYPNU73q
