Sachin Tendulkar's Birthday Wish, Ravi Shastri's Reply Is Everything "The Doctor Ordered"
As Sachin Tendulkar wished Ravi Shastri on his 60th birthday, the former Team India head coach came up with a hilarious response.
As Ravi Shastri turned 60 on Friday, the birthday wishes poured in for former team India head coach. Among those who wished him was legendary batter and Shastri's teammate from his playing days, Sachin Tendulkar. While Tendulkar's birthday wish was a heartfelt one, it was also rather witty and Shastri's response was just as sharp. "Happy birthday to a teammate and a friend who lives & breathes cricket and was always there to discuss cricket with me!" Tendulkar wrote, before adding "Hope you're celebrating the day just like the doctor ordered, Ravi!" with a wink emoji.
"Thank you, Big Boss. Means a lot," Shastri wrote in response.
"The doctor has prescribed more time with friends. See you soon," he signed off.
Thank you, Big Boss. Means a lot.
