Master Blaster, Sachin Tendulkar turned 45 today. Sachin is widely regarded as the ‘God of Cricket’ and is considered to be one of the best to have ever played this game. Sachin was technically one of the most gifted batsmen in the world. He is the highest run scorer in both ODIs and Tests and has many records to his name. Furthermore, Sachin Tendulkar also has 100 international centuries to his name.

On the occasion of his 45th birthday, Sachin was flooded with wishes from fans and well-wishers. Also, many former cricketers wished Sachin a very Happy Birthday and wished him well for his future. Among these many people who wished the legendary Tendulkar was the former Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar.

Akhtar terms Sachin Tendulkar a very human

Shoaib Akhtar bowling at full pace to Sachin Tendulkar was one of the most intense scenes in cricket. Akhtar also bowled the fastest delivery in the history of the game to Sachin. However, Sachin smoked that delivery away for a six wasting all the effort. Akhtar versus Tendulkar was always an interesting battle to watch out for. Both these legends had a fair share of success against each other.

Although they were rivals on the field, these two are good friends off it. They hold some good respect for each other and often share some good words. Shoaib was amongst the few Pakistani cricketers who wished Sachin on his 45th birthday. He took it to Twitter to wish him and shared a sweet message. He termed Sachin Tendulkar a lovely human and also a very good friend. Furthermore, he termed him a ‘Legend’ in one of his hashtags.

‘Happy birthday to the great @sachin_rt Beside being a Legend you are a lovely human and a Good Friend. Keep Rocking !! #HappyBirthdaySachinTendulkar #Legend,’ Akhtar wrote in his tweet. Akhtar also shared a wonderful picture of his with Sachin with the two sharing some smiles.
