The entire stadium erupted in joy as the master blaster cut a cake on the sidelines along with Mathew Hayden.
The stadium erupted in one voice to wish Tendulkar happy birthday after he cut the cake.
While cutting the cake, former Aussie batsman Matthew Hayden asked the master blaster to cut the bat on the cake to which he replied, “You never cut a cricket bat...will cut the outfield to open up the gaps."
Asked about how he felt being turned 44, Sachin said, “Being 44 is nice but also covering those 44 years (has been nice). My movie is probably coming out on May 26th and I have been busy these days to ensure how best it is launched and can't believe I am 44."
