Legendary Indian cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar Sunday celebrated his 49th birthday and wishes poured in from all corners of world cricket for the legendary cricketer. However, there was one Twitter post that left the Indian fans absolutely infuriated. It was a post for Sachin by England’s Barmy Army, the fan group of England cricket.
Taking to Twitter on the birthday of Sachin Tendulkar, Barmy Army posted an image of the former India cricketer from one of his Test series against England after he got out and captioned it, “Happy Birthday Little Master”.

While Tendulkar did not respond to the post, it was Indian leg-spinner Amit Mishra who gave a befitting reply to the post. Mishra shared a collage of the highs of Tendulkar’s career achieved against England and simply captioned the post on behalf of Tendulkar by saying: “Thanks kids.”
