Celebrated all-rounder Yuvraj Singh of India also wished Sachin “Paaji” a happy birthday, citing him as one of the inspirations behind his own aspirations. In a video that he also attached, he praised Sachin for helping young people and expressed Yuvraj’s sense of privilege at being able to interact and become friends with the cricketing “god.””Sachin approaches the game and himself with a great deal of humility. Always willing to help and supportive of children. For me, things were not going well. He was always there for me and supported me, and I looked up to him. It is quite difficult for you to relate to someone who has achieved 100 centuries at that level because to you, he is like a god. It was a dream come true for me to get along with that guy and become friends with him,” Yuvraj remarked.

Happy birthday paaji! 🎉 From smashing bowlers on the field to smashing life goals, you're the reason I learned to aim higher in life (and sometimes on the field too 🤪) Here's wishing you loads of love, good health and happiness always 🤗❤️@sachin_rt #HappyBirthdaySachin pic.twitter.com/t6qFKgKJmZ
