From one legend to another: Sachin Tendulkar's birthday wish to Saqlain Mushtaq

Former Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar wished former Pakistani spinner Saqlain Mushtaq with a throwback photo on the latter's birthday.

"Wishing you a very happy birthday Saqlain Mushtaq!" wrote the Indian star cricketer on Twitter. "Have a blessed and healthy year ahead."

"Thank you, legend, for your prayers and wishes. It means a lot. You made my day special," replied the spin master.

The two cricketers are legends in their own ways - Sachin with the bat and Saqlain with the ball. 

In an interview, Saqlain recalled times spent with the maestro off the field. “We have had so many fond memories; had gone out many times, spent a lot of time in Mushy’s house [Mushtaq Ahmed] in the United Kingdom," he said. "He is such a decent and humble human being, that is what stands out in his personality."
