Sachin Tendulkar. The name says it all. God of cricket, master blaster, cricket legend are just few of the titles he has been given for his extraordinary performance in the cricketing world. The right-handed batsman who donned the No 10 jersey in ODIs for the better part of his illustrious career, retired from all forms of international cricket in November, 2013. The god of cricket turns 45 today.
Sachin aggregated more runs than any other player in Tests and ODIs, finished with 100 centuries in internatonal cricket. His final tally read: 15, 921 Test runs and 18,426 ODI runs and numerous other records to his name.
The Australian cricketer Damien Fleming is also celebrating his birthday today but something happened that made the fans of Sachin Tendulkar very angry today.
The Cricket Australia took to Twitter to wish Damien but they posted a video showing Damien getting Sachin Tendulkar out on his delivery.
The caption that Cricket Australia wrote is, “Some @bowlologist gold from the man himself – happy birthday, Damien Fleming!”
Here’s the tweet:

This tweet didn’t go well with the Indian fans and they trolled Cricket Australia left and right. Check out some selected tweets:
no matter if you post video of Sachin getting clean bold on his birthday today, legend will be legend. His records are enough to shut everyone. Getting out is just another part of game

U shameless Australian cricket.

U have posted the video of sachin’s wicket on his birthday.
I don’t know how many know Fleming but world knows God.
Ask from ur great bowlers, they will give u better information.— Keshav kumar (@imkeshav123) April 24, 2018

No matter how many bans, Australians will never change…😁
On Sachin’s Birthday you are posting a video how Damien Fleming bowled him. Couldn’t you find another batsman instead of Sachin? #HappyBirthdaySachin

As always, zero sportsmanship of the Australian team

Looks like @CricketAus has vowed to demean the game and its great heritage. Posting Sachin getting out bowled on his birthday? @bowlologist gets his day fame and @CricketAus its another day of shame!
This is disrepect to Sachin & his fans.#HappyBirthdaySachin
