As Sachin Tendulkar celebrated his 53rd birthday on April 24, wishes poured in from across the cricketing fraternity. However, one greeting that truly caught fans’ attention came from his son, Arjun Tendulkar, blending humour with a glimpse into his disciplined lifestyle. In a video shared by Lucknow Super Giants, Arjun was seen holding a plate with a slice of cake while wishing his father.

What made the moment stand out was his light-hearted remark. Smiling, he said, “Happy Birthday. I am not going to eat this because I don’t eat sugar very often. I will see you soon.” The candid comment quickly went viral, striking a chord with fans who appreciated both the humor and the young cricketer’s fitness-focused approach.

While the video generated plenty of love for Sachin, it also reignited discussions around Arjun’s role in IPL 2026. Picked up by Lucknow Super Giants for ₹30 lakh at the auction, the left-arm all-rounder is yet to feature in a game this season. Having previously spent multiple seasons with Mumbai Indians, where he played limited matches, his move to LSG was seen as a fresh opportunity. However, he is still awaiting his chance in the playing XI.

Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar’s legacy continues to stand tall in world cricket. Widely regarded as one of the greatest batters in the history of the game, he remains the highest run-scorer in international cricket with 34,357 runs. His record-breaking career includes the most centuries across formats and a historic milestone of playing 200 Test matches.
In Test cricket alone, Tendulkar amassed 15,921 runs, including 51 centuries, setting benchmarks that continue to inspire generations of cricketers.
