Sachin Tendulkar's easy-breezy birthday wish for former India cricketer

Sachin Tendulkar has extended a heartful birthday message to his ex-teammate and former India international Ajay Jadeja. Sachin took to Instagram and left a story featuring a photo of himself with Jadeja. The two can be seen chatting while sitting on a swing, in the still. 

The Master Blaster tagged Jadeja's Instagram handle and attached the photo with the caption "Happiest birthday to you my friend @travelermaan. Waiting for the lungi dance video of yours!" 

Sachin Tendulkar and Ajay Jadeja played together for India for around eight years from 1992 to 2000. While having picked up different roles for the betterment of the team- Tendulkar being the opener and Jadeja coming in as finisher- the two seldom batted together to build partnerships. 

Ajay Jadeja's career statistics

Ajay Jadeja could not have a long Test career, having played only 15 Tests and scoring 576 runs at an average of 26.18. However, his ODI career was rather a successful one. He played 196 ODIs and amassed a total of 5,359 runs at an average of 37.47. In the process, he went past the 100-run mark six times and secured thirty-half centuries.

Though he had garnered many big scores in his career, his most famous which is etched in the hearts of Indian cricket fans still remains the 25-ball 45 that he smashed against Pakistan in the 1996 World Cup.
