33000 spectators, 33000 Tendulkar face masks, MI organise pre-birthday bash for Sachin

Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings: It's been a special week for Sachin Tendulkar as his son Arjun Tendulkar finally made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians. Arjun played not one but two matches for MI and thereby became the first Tendulkar to take a wicket in the coveted league as well. While that was what happened till now in the day, today promises to be even more special for the little master as just two days before he will be celebrating his half-century on planet Earth, Mumbai Indians have planned a huge bash for the stalwarts whose cricketing exploits are nothing short of legendary.

Every year on April 24, India's cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar receives wishes from a billion fans worldwide on his birthday. The master blaster will be turning 50 this year and while the party preparations in the Mumbai Indians camp might already be in place, a win against Punjab Kings will set the tone in advance. Win or lose, before the big day, the MI franchise has planned a pre-birthday celebration as well.
