Tendulkar tweeted on Friday: "Thank you for your wishes and prayers. As a matter of abundant precaution under medical advice, I have been hospitalised.

"I hope to be back home in a few days. Take care and stay safe everyone. Wishing all Indians & my teammates [well] on the 10th anniversary of our World Cup win."
