"Easter reminds us to never lose hope and have faith. There will always be light at the end of the tunnel. We shall overcome these challenging times together through our prayers and our mental and physical strength as a country. Happy Easter everyone!," Sachin tweeted.

Indian men's cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri also wished his fans a "Happy Easter" on Instagram.

Sharing an adorable picture, Shastri wrote: "Happy #Easter Everyone! Have a lovely day".

Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ following his crucifixion on Good Friday. It also marks the culmination of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and penance.

However, as the country is currently reeling with the coronavirus crisis, several churches remain closed on Easter.

The tally of the country's novel coronavirus cases has increased and crossed the 8000-mark.

Of these, 716 have been cured and discharged, and 273 have succumbed to the virus.
