Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who is revered as the ‘God of Cricket’ by ardent cricket fans, turned 45 on 24 April.

Birthday wishes for one of the greatest cricketers poured in thick and strong on Twitter. Sachin Tendulkar is the leading Test run scorer and the leading ODI run scorer with phenomenal 34,357 international runs to his name.

On the occasion of Sachin’s Tendulkar birthday, the official Twitter handle of Cricket Australia has left Sachin’s fans fuming.

Former Australian pace bowler Damien Fleming also celebrates his birthday on 24 April and Cricket Australia has shared a special birthday message for him.

The video shared on CA’s handle shows Sachin getting bowled off a fine delivery from Damien Fleming in an ODI in Perth during the 2000 Carlton & United Series.

One of tweets, in reply to the CA’s birthday wish, read, “I believe, Aussies are doing ball tampering from long time ago. Only it came into picture with proof this year. You are lucky @bowlologist as you didn’t got caught, Happy birthday…”

Many irked fans criticised CA and also posted videos of Sachin bashing the Australian bowlers.

Here are some of the reactions:

No matter how many bans, Australians will never change…😁

On Sachin’s Birthday you are posting a video how Damien Fleming bowled him. Couldn’t you find another batsman instead of Sachin? #HappyBirthdaySachin

Shame on CA….instead of setting a good example you do the opposite.

We now also know where the Aussies learn their Sledging….it comes right from the TOP.

YOUR TWEET WAS IN VERY BAD TASTE

Looks like @CricketAus has vowed to demean the game and its great heritage. Posting Sachin getting out bowled on his birthday? @bowlologist gets his day fame and @CricketAus its another day of shame!

This is disrepect to Sachin & his fans.#HappyBirthdaySachin
