Corona victims
Some time ago Vijay Shirke had seen symptoms of Coronavirus, after which he was admitted to the hospital. Although he had overcome this disease, but due to the side effects of Kovid-19, he said goodbye to this world.
Another friend of Sachin’s death
Sachin Tendulkar had to face such grief even earlier. Another friend of his, Avi Kadam, also died due to corona virus epidemic. In October 2020, Avi said goodbye to this world.
At a loss for words at the passing away of my dear friend, Avi Kadam.
A close friend of mine since school days, Avi was like family to me. Our memories of post practice catch-ups outside Shivaji Park will stay with me always.
My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones. pic.twitter.com/ror2vSG9yy– Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) October 19, 2020
