Sachin Tendulkar Shares Throwback Pic With Sourav Ganguly From U-15 Days, Wishes 'Happy Birthday Dadi' to Prince of Kolkata in Priceless Tweet

Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar once again evoked pleasant memories for fans as he posted a picture of himself with former India cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly, who celebrates his 47th birthday on Monday, July 8. The master blaster also brought out the funny side in him as he addressed Ganguly as "Dadi", instead of Dada as the latter is famously known by his fans and cricket lovers.

"Happy Birthday Dadi! From playing with you in our Under-15 days to now commentating with you. It’s been quite a journey. Have a great year ahead!" wrote Sachin in the birthday wish for his special opening partner. The picture shared by Sachin is probably from the under-15 days, when both Sachin and and Ganguly were picking the lessons of the game to take India on a glorious path in the years to come. Sourav Ganguly Turns 47: Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman and Others Wish Former Indian Captain ‘Happy Birthday’ in Their Own Style.
