You always prayed for me to stay at the crease and not get out.
My only wish for all of you today is that you too don't get out. #StayHome and stay healthy. 🙏🏻
Wishes poured in for the former Indian batsman on Friday as he turned 47 with several former and current cricketers wishing him on the occasion. Widely regarded as the best batsman ever, Sachin Tendulkar himself tweeted that he started the day by taking blessings from his mother with whom he is spending time amid the lockdown.
