Cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar turned 45 today and his loyal followers on social media have been flooding him with birthday wishes. It turns out that Australian cricketer Damien Fleming is also celebrating his birthday today.
Cricket Australia’s official Twitter handle @CricketAus posted a video wishing Fleming a happy birthday saying “Some @bowlologist gold from the man himself - happy birthday, Damien Fleming!”

The video shows Damien Fleming bowling out Tendulkar during an ODI in Perth during the '2000 Carlton & United Series'.
This, clearly, didn’t go well with Sachin fans who lashed out at @CricketAus on Twitter in support of their God. Here are some of the tweets.
How about This @CricketAus ?
