National Doctors Day: Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar message for doctors 

Sachin Tendulkar, in his message on Twitter, asked fans to appreciate the efforts taken by doctors and pray for their safety and well being. Sachin Tendulkar also wrote that the doctors have always acted as a shield during the time of a health crisis and that is why he salutes them for their efforts. The former cricketer claimed in the past that he had 10 surgeries in his 24-year-career, with his tennis elbow injury in the mid-2000s nearly ending it for him. However, with the advice of the likes of the current Mumbai Indians physio Dr. Nitin Patel and others in the UK, he was able to come out of it eventually and gain his form. Here's Sachin Tendulkar's tweet -

Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to have their own street  

Recently a report emerged that Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli have streets named after them in Australia with work already commencing in a new real estate project. According to SBS Hindi website, an upcoming housing estate in Melbourne’s western suburb of Rockbank has named all its streets after cricketing legends from around the world. Streets in the Rockbank suburb of Melton City Council have been named after cricketing legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and Steve Waugh among others. 

As per the report, property developer Varun Sharma has told the media outlet that as soon as they announced street names after cricketers, inquiries doubled. He added that it is a thrill for fans to say that they live at an Australian street called Kohli Crescent for example. He also hopes that Virat Kohli visits the place if India travel to Australia in December. India are slated to travel to Australia later this year to play three ODIs, three T20Is and four Tests. Cricketing action will resume next month when West Indies tour England for three Test matches.
