Leading the birthday tributes were his former teammates and close friends Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh. Both took to social media to share their admiration and gratitude for the man who carried the hopes of a billion fans for over two decades.
“Happy birthday to the God of Cricket,” wrote Suresh Raina on X (formerly Twitter), along with a picture of him and Tendulkar from their playing days. “Your humility, discipline, and dedication continue to guide every aspiring cricketer. Wishing you good health and endless happiness, Paaji!”
Harbhajan Singh, who shared the dressing room with Tendulkar for years and was a key part of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning squad, also penned a touching note. “Happy Birthday @sachin_rt! You are not just a cricketer, you are an emotion for every Indian. Thank you for the unforgettable memories and for being an inspiration, always.”
Birthday wishes also poured in from current cricketers, fans, celebrities, and sports personalities across the world. Virat Kohli shared a post calling Sachin “a role model and a cricketing icon,” while India captain Rohit Sharma posted a throwback video of Tendulkar’s 2003 World Cup innings against Pakistan, captioned, “The innings that made me fall in love with the game.”
Tendulkar, who made his international debut at just 16, holds several records that still stand untouched, including 100 international centuries and over 34,000 international runs. Though he retired in 2013, his impact on the game remains timeless.
On his birthday, Tendulkar shared a simple thank-you message with his fans: “Grateful for the love and warm wishes. Every message brings back memories and fills my heart with joy. Thank you for being part of my journey.”
As India celebrates the birthday of its most beloved cricketer, the legacy of Sachin Tendulkar continues to shine as brightly as ever — a beacon of dedication, humility, and excellence in the world of sports.
