India’s greatest sportsman Sachin Tendulkar celebrated his 35th birthday (April 24th, 2008) in Chennai along with his Mumbai Indians (IPL Cricket) Team-mate. As the little master turns out to be 35 the speculation about his fitness in playing cricket is subject to question mark. The Media is raising speculations about his ability to perform at different platforms.

Sachin has always silenced his criticizers by letting his bat do the talking. Generally Sachin remains silent when questions rose about his fitness. Sachin has got a history of injury woes that has threatened his career – back injury, toe injury, finger injury (thumb) and a very painful tennis elbow and adding to the list is groin injury.

Sachin in the past has risen victorious by overcoming all these injuries. One would expect him to silence all his critics who wouldn’t stop criticizing the little master even on his Birthday. Sachin on his birthday was presented a book “Tendulkar, The Irreverent Unauthorised Biography” on behalf of the Mumbai Indians.  The book consists of quotes from his family and former cricketers including the legendary Sir Donald Bradman who considered Tendulkar as a greatest batsman. Wishing All Success and Glory to Sachin on his birthday.

The upcoming match on 25th April 2008, between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab is going to be a treat for the crowd as it is a comeback match for Sachin after his groin injury. Sachin is expected to play the Mohali match. Hope to see two of the greatest players in world cricket open for the very first time – Jayasuriya and Sachin.
