Even on the birthday of his father, legendary India batter Sachin Tendulkar, Arjun Tendulkar\u2019s first priority remains cricket. The bowling all-rounder, currently featuring for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2026 season, sent a warm but straightforward message to \u201cMaster Blaster\u201d on Friday. The wish was sweet and short\u2014yet he still didn\u2019t touch cake, sticking to his sugar-free routine.<\/p>\n

Arjun, who joined LSG from the Mumbai Indians ahead of the current season, made it clear that he isn\u2019t planning any changes to his diet, even for special days. In his message, he wrote that he wanted to send birthday cake wishes from his side as well, but chose to skip the celebration treat because he is off sugar.<\/p>\n

There was also a separate set of greetings from the global game\u2019s top office. ICC Chairman Jay Shah extended heartfelt birthday wishes to Sachin Tendulkar as the cricket icon turned 53 on Friday.<\/p>\n

Tributes for Sachin Tendulkar\u2019s 53rd birthday<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Jay Shah shared a birthday message on social media, praising Tendulkar\u2019s contribution to cricket and noting how his empathy and humanity continue to make a meaningful difference in society.<\/li>\n
  2. Tendulkar was born on 24 April 1973 and is widely regarded as one of the most complete batters of his era, as well as the sport\u2019s most prolific run-scorer.<\/li>\n
  3. He holds the record for the most international centuries in both Tests and ODIs, with the achievement made even more remarkable by the fact that his maiden ODI century arrived only in his 79th match.<\/li>\n
  4. Across international cricket, Tendulkar amassed 34,357 runs, setting benchmarks that have endured over time.<\/li>\n
  5. In the red-ball format, his patience and resilience translated into a record 200 Test appearances\u2014the most by any player in Tests.<\/li>\n
  6. On his 53rd birthday, the numbers attached to his Test legacy included 15,921 runs, 51 centuries, and 2,058 fours\u2014figures described as the highest by any batter in red-ball cricket.<\/li>\n
  7. He was also recognised as the fastest to reach 15,000 Test runs, accomplishing the feat in just 300 innings, a distinction that remains unique to him.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For fans, Tendulkar\u2019s stature still carries the same weight\u2014often described as India\u2019s \u201cGod of Cricket\u201d\u2014and his influence continues to resonate far beyond the boundary lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
