India cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar yesterday said that he could not believe he has turned 44 as he celebrated his birthday in front of thousands of adoring fans at the Wankhede Stadium here.
Tendulkar cut a cake during the IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiant as the stadium reverberated with chants of 'happy birthday Sachin.' Tendulkar is currently MI's mentor and played for the franchise for six seasons from 2008 to 2013.
Asked by former Australia opening batsman Matthew Hayden to cut the bat on top of the cake along with a ball, Tendulkar said, "You never cut a cricket bat. The bat will cut the outfield to open up the gaps. Being 44 is nice but also covering those 44 years (has been nice). My movie is probably coming out on May 26th and I've been busy these days to ensure how best it is launched. I can't believe I am 44."
