Sourav Ganguly turned 46 on Sunday. Wishes poured in for the former India captain from all over- including his longtime batting partner Sachin Tendulkar.
Tendulkar took to Twitter and tweeted in Bengali to wish Sourav Ganguly on his birthday. He said, "Dada - Let your birthday be filled with happiness and love. Wish you a year full of Dadagiri"

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly have been friends for more than 30 years - they first met in 1988 during their under-16 days.
Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly would later become the best opening partnership in world cricket. Tendulkar and Ganguly hold the world record for the maximum number of runs for opening partnerships. They added 8227 runs together in 176 matches including 6,609 runs in 136 matches as openers.
Earlier in the day Virender Sehwag also wished his former captain. As usual Sehwag tweeted his birthday in his witty style.
