From Ravi Shastri to Triple H, Twitter showers praise on Sachin Tendulkar as Master Blaster turns 50

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar turned 50 on Monday, April 24th, and his fans, colleagues, ex-players, and even stars outside of cricket have shared birthday wishes on their social media handles. While in India Sachin is considered nothing less than a cricketing God, the veteran batter is also famous among other sporting athletes, be it in football or even WWE.

The most prolific run-scorer in the game, Sachin made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 and went on to represent India for the next 24 years, playing his last game in Indian colours against Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup. In between these years, not only did he create records that are likely to stay till eternity, but Sachin also inspired a whole generation to pick up bats and start reading the newspaper from the last page, the sports section.

As he turns 50 today, several cricketers, mostly his former teammates or youngsters, have sent birthday wishes.

So let’s have a look at who greeted the Little Master.

Happy Birthday, Big Boss!

He came, he played & he conquered hearts for 4 generations! Good days or bad days, no runs or 100 runs, his head was always held high and feet firmly planted on the ground. He taught us that following the right process leads to long-term progress! pic.twitter.com/uHJe8sANw9 — Yuvraj Singh (@YUVSTRONG12) April 24, 2023

Your 100 hundreds, @sachin_rt were the hallmark of an immortal cricketer. But this 50 is to be celebrated as much because this belongs to an outstanding person.
