The legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar turns 47 today (April 24). Sachin Tendulkar famously known as the ‘God of cricket’ was the definition of cricket for many people across the globe in 24 years of an international career. 

The little master debuted at the age of 16 against Pakistan and went on to become an inspiration for many. His retirement made all the cricket fans emotional. Tendulkar took the retirement from ODIs in December 2012, from T20 in October 2013, and finally, from all forms of cricket on November 13, 2013. The veteran played his 200th and final Test match against the West Indies at his home ground, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.

In his glorious career of 24 years, Sachin made many records that are still unbeaten. To date, Tendulkar is the leading run-getter in international cricket, with 34,357 runs across formats. He scored 15,921 in 200 Tests, 18426 in 463 ODIs, and 10 in 1 T20 international. Also, he has a record of smashing 100 centuries across all formats. 

On the occasion of his birthday, Tendulkar started his day by taking the blessings of his mother. Sachin shared the photo of the Ganesh Bappa that his mother gifted him on his special day on twitter. 

His post read, “Started my day by taking blessings from my Mother. Sharing a photo of Ganpati Bappa that she gifted me. Absolutely priceless.”
