Happy Birthday Sachin: Little Master begins day by imparting knowledge on the field

As he stepped into his 43rd year, wishes started to pour in on Twitter as the fraternity wished him and waxed eloquence.

Mumbai

: The iconic Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday celebrated his 43rd birthday by playing cricket with children from the 'Make-A-Wish India' organisation in the city, even as the fraternity wished him and waxed eloquence.

Tendulkar spent some time with the children, teaching them the basics of batting, bowling and fielding at the MIG Club. He posted the same on his official Facebook page.

Tendulkar retired from all forms of cricket in November 2013 during the Test match against West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium.

As he stepped into his 43rd year, wishes started to pour in on Twitter.

\"Many happy returns of the day champion @sachin_rt have a blessed year!\" former India captain and long time teammate Anil Kumble wrote on his Twitter handle.
