But the most unique wish came from his opening partner for many years Virender Sehwag.
Sehwag posted a video in which he can be seen sitting with a plate filled with bananas.
He says in the video that Sachin always used to make him keep quiet in the dressing room by feeding bananas. So to wish Sachin on his 49th birthday, he ate bananas and kept quiet.
