Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, fondly known as the ‘God of Cricket’, celebrated his 51st birthday on April 24, 2024, in a unique and heartwarming manner. Instead of a grand party or public appearances, Tendulkar chose to spend his special day playing football with underprivileged girls associated with his foundation.

Tendulkar, along with his wife Anjali Tendulkar, visited the Yuwa Foundation in Ranchi. Here, they spent quality time with young girls who aspire to become football players. The celebration was not just about playing football; it was also about sharing stories, cutting a birthday cake, and creating memorable moments.

In a video shared on Tendulkar’s social media handle, he can be seen engaging in a lively game of football with the girls. The girls, far from being intimidated by the presence of the cricketing legend, gave a tough competition during the game. Tendulkar, always a sport, enjoyed the game and even asked a little girl to teach him some football moves.

The underprivileged girls were associated with the Sachin Tendulkar Foundation. In the heartwarming video, Sachin was spotted being served food on banana leaves and was fed with watermelon and other fruits.
