While most messages were apologetic of their previous comments critical of the former World No.1 and lashed out at Tendulkar for his tweet, a few even invited her to come to God`s Own Country to enjoy its scenic splendour and attend the iconic Thrissur Pooram once the coronavirus pandemic ended

Offended by Sachin Tendulkar`s tweet on farmers` protest, scores of Keralites flooded tennis star Maria Sharpova`s social media pages with messages, apologising for trolling her in 2015 after she had in an interview pleaded ignorance about the cricket icon. While most messages were apologetic of their previous comments critical of the former World No.1 and lashed out at Tendulkar for his tweet, a few even invited her to come to God`s Own Country to enjoy its scenic splendour and attend the iconic Thrissur Pooram once the coronavirus pandemic ended.
"Sharapova, you were right about Sachin, that he is not a person of quality that you should know," a social media user commented in Malayalam, as was hundreds of other messages in the south Indian language. The 33-year old multiple grand slam winner on Wednesday posted a tweet, saying "Anyone else got their years confused?" after her Twitter and Facebook page got flooded with comments in Malayalam once again like in 2015.
