CRICKET
Indian cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar turned 48 on Saturday, April 24 as wishes poured in from Virender Sehwag to Sourav Ganguly to Anil Kapoor.
Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar turned 48 on Saturday, April 24. Tendulkar, who is considered 'God of Cricket' in India was born on this day in 1973. The 'Master Blaster', who has 100 international centuries to his name with over 34,000 runs, has been one of the best ever players to play the game.
As he turned one more year older, the wishes poured in from all corners for the former batsman. Tendulkar's former opening partner, Virender Sehwag and current Indian skipper Virat Kohli led the way as many former and current cricketers joined in to wish their best for him.
Not just cricketers - male or female - a few known Bollywood faces such as Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit Nene also wished Tendulkar on his birthday. Here are some of the reactions and sweet wishes:
