New Delhi: Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has gone into self-isolation after a COVID-19 positive case was detected at his home and he is waiting for his COVID-19 test result.

The two-time World Cup-winning former batsman is currently a member of parliament of Lok Sabha from East Delhi. “Due to a case at home, I have been in isolation awaiting my COVID test result. Urge everyone to follow all guidelines & not take this lightly. Stay safe!,” Gambhir tweeted.

The 39-year-old has represented India in 58 Tests, 147 ODIs and 37 T20Is. In 2019, he got involved in politics ahead of the Lok Sabha elections by joining the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).

Delhi recorded over 6,700 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday (November 5), forcing the infection tally in the city to over 4.16 lakh with 66 more deaths, the highest in around four months.
