Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh said on Friday that he has quarantined himself at home after testing positive for Covid-19. Harbhajan, who announced his retirement from all forms of cricket last month, said he had mild symptoms and he was taking all the necessary precautions.

I’ve tested positive for COVID with mild symptoms. I have quarantined myself at home and taking all the necessary precautions.
I would request those who came in contact with me to get themselves tested at the earliest. Please be safe and take care

“I’ve tested positive for COVID with mild symptoms. I have quarantined myself at home and taking all the necessary precautions. I would request those who came in contact with me to get themselves tested at the earliest. Please be safe and take care,” Harbhajan Singh wrote on Twitter.

Harbhajan, who made his debut under Mohammad Azharuddin in 1998 evolved into a mainstay of the Indian cricket team during his time under Sourav Ganguly between 2001 and 2005.

Harbhajan played 118 matches (including ODIs and Tests) under Ganguly and picked up 273 wickets at an average of less than 29. It was in 2001 that Harbhajan stepped up in the absence of Anil Kumble and picked up 32 wickets in 3 Tests against Australia in India’s historic series victory.

On the other hand, Harbhajan Singh won the 2007 T20 World Cup under MS Dhoni’s leadership and was part of the 2011 World Cup-winning side. He picked up 229 wickets in 133 matches under Dhoni for India.
