The little master is celebrating his 45th birthday today. Fans and celebrities are making it big by posting several memorable moments of his career in the social media.
Virat mentioned several times that Sachin played an important role in shaping his career from his young age. It is to be noted that they shared the dressing room for a period of six years from 2008 to November 2013.
When Kohli went through a nightmarish tour of England in 2014, he turned to Tendulkar for help. A few months later, he smashed four hundred in four Tests in Australia and has not looked back since.
Meanwhile, the master himself said that he would share a bottle of champagne at a point in life when the Indian icon Virat Kohli breaks his record of ODIÂ centuries.
Virat Kohli, one of the modern day greats (as experts call him) has been one of the finest cricketers in all formats of the game. His adaptability across any format makes him one of the dependable batsmen. He has hit 35 ODI centuries, just behind Sachin Tendulkar. With age still in his bag, he is expected to make a truckload of the runs before calling it a day.
In a recent book launch event by Boria Majumdar, Sachin was asked if he would send bottles of champagnes if Virat surpasses his record. Master amazingly replied “I will go and share a bottle with him if he breaks my record. I won”t send him champagne bottles; I will go there and share it with him,” Tendulkar said to a loud round of applause from a distinguished audience.
The little master will be celebrating his birthday with the Mumbai Indians squad who will be playing Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede.
All fingers crossed if Mumbai can win it for him as a gift for his birthday.
