Sachin Tendulkar celebrated his 44th birthday on Twitter. The little master, though, was working on his birthday as Mumbai Indians played the Rising Pune Supergiant in an eventful Maharashtra derby game which the latter won by 3 runs in a last over finish.

Sachin received a lot of wishes on his Twitter account from fans and cricketers around the globe. There was a minor goof-up which cracked up the social media. Sachin Tendulkar’s twitter handle sent itself a birthday greeting with an image of Anil Kumble and Sachin from their playing days.

The Tweet was soon removed and the exact same Tweet appeared from Kumble’s handle. It was quite clear that the PR team was responsible for the error as both stalwarts have hired the same PR to manage their social media activities.

That was not all, the day went from bad to worse as soon after, Zaheer Khan chose to announce his engagement to long-time beau and Bollywood actress Sagarika Ghatge.

Again, people were quick to pour in their congratulatory messages on Twitter. The Team India Coach’s handle sent a greeting Tweet to Zak but tagged the wrong Sagarika. Instead of Sagarika Ghatge, veteran journalist and wife of Rajdeep Sardesai – Sagarika Ghose was tagged.

Zaheer’s IPL team Delhi Daredevils did a similar mistake. They also sent a message to Zak and ended up tagging the wrong lady again. Sagarika Ghose was tagged yet again.

Both realised their mistakes and were quick to correct it deleting the initial tweet. Ghose took the error in good spirit and in turn, replied to point out that they have tagged the wrong Sagarika as she is married with two kids.

Delhi Daredevils’ twitter handle then wrote an apology for the miscommunication and said that they got carried away with the good news.

It was a comedy of errors and a coincidence that both errors happened on the same day.
