Tendulkar also got a pleasant surprise when he checked into the hotel for isolation before joining the bio-secure bubble.

The hotel had an entire timeline of his cricket career, starting from 1988 when he took to first-class cricket, then to his entry to Team India. Tendulkar put out a video of all the arrangements made by the hotel as it covered many o' Sachin's personal milestones like his marriage to Anjali in 1995. The bed had a pillow with Tendulkar's photograph embossed on it.
