Around the Coronavirus chaos, the Road Safety Series, which was initially planned for 2020, was postponed to 2021. The Coronavirus lost its pace in India and everything seemed under control. Even the crowds were allowed to be present in the stadium. However, a second wave of the virus saw a surge in the cases which forced the organizers to complete the tournament behind closed doors. The tournament culminated with India Legends defeating Sri Lanka Legends in the final. The joy of the victory didn’t last long as the fans were stunned by the news of Tendulkar testing positive.
