[Saba Sports News] The enduring bond between two cricketing legends, Sachin Tendulkar and Saeed Anwar, continues to inspire with its remarkable sportsmanship and mutual admiration. These iconic figures of the cricketing world have a rich history of on-field battles, with Tendulkar notably etching his name in history by surpassing Anwar’s long-standing record in One Day International (ODI) cricket, achieving the highest individual score of 194.
In recent times, the heartwarming friendship between these cricket maestros has taken center stage on social media, highlighting the warmth of their enduring connection. It was Tendulkar himself who shared a heartfelt message on social media, not only celebrating his son Arjun Tendulkar’s birthday but also coincidentally marking Daughters Day.

On his ‘X’ account, Tendulkar posted a cherished snapshot of his children, Arjun and Sara, during their younger years, accompanied by a caption that resonated with the joy of a proud father: “What a beautiful coincidence! Celebrating Arjun’s birthday and #DaughtersDay on the same day. I couldn’t be a happier father.” Anwar, the former Pakistani opener, contributed to this heartwarming exchange by leaving a message beneath the nostalgic picture.
His words conveyed a sense of unity that transcended borders and rivalries as he commented, “Masha Allah Sachin! Wishing Arjun a happy birthday, and my thoughts and best wishes to Sara.”
Their interaction on ‘X’ highlighted the genuine warmth and camaraderie between these cricketing icons.
Sachin Tendulkar and Saeed Anwar both hold legendary status in the cricketing world. Tendulkar, often hailed as the greatest batter to grace the sport, consistently dominated cricket records. On the other hand, Anwar, a veteran Pakistani batter with over 12,000 runs for Pakistan, led his team to numerous triumphs, solidifying his place in cricket’s hall of fame.
Anwar’s admiration for the 50-year-old Tendulkar’s dedication and humility was evident, as he once remarked, “God has been kind to him. Records are meant to be broken.” Anwar had heard of others equaling his record in the past but remained unaware of the specific achiever (Coventry). With genuine delight and a gracious spirit, the 55-year-old expressed, “It’s great that his friend from Mumbai broke it,” a testament to the camaraderie and mutual respect that define their remarkable friendship.
