Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary Indian batsman, turned 46 on Wednesday. While wishes poured in from all over the world, the International Cricket Council's (ICC) tweet clearly stood out. Sachin Tendulkar and Prithvi Shaw feature in a collage of pictures shared by the ICC on their official Twitter handle. In the first picture, Tendulkar can be seen giving an award to Prithvi Shaw, who would have been 12 or 13 years old at that time. The second picture is a recent one in which Prithvi Shaw, who made his international debut last year, can be seen posing with his batting idol. "Perfect pictures do not exi... wait, yes they do!" ICC captioned the picture.
