Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's '9 pm, 9-min' appeal to defeat the coronavirus in the country, former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar light candles along with his family members and thanked the 'selfless sanitation warriors.'

Tendulkar took to Twitter and wrote: "My family & I thank the selfless #SanitationWarriors cleaning our surroundings & hospitals, disinfecting affected areas & thus keeping the virus at bay. Let's also reignite our pledge to take care of our elders, the most vulnerable - by ensuring their physical & mental wellness."
