Tendulkar turns 32


Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar turned 32 on Sunday and as in the past, celebrated his birthday quietly outside the city with his wife Anjali and two children.

The right-hander, who protects his privacy intensely and doesn't allow any intrusion into it, held his birthday celebrations with his close family members and friends at an undisclosed location outside Mumbai, it was learnt.

He had modest success with the bat in his 31st year and the prayers of his well-wishers on his birthday were for more success for him as well as the Indian team whose fortunes have also taken a hit of late.

Tendulkar and India are next scheduled to play triangular limited-overs international series in Sri Lanka in August.
