Cricket Australia’s tweet on Sachin Tendulkar's birthday has irked his fans.

The legendary cricketer turned 45 on Tuesday, April 24th.

But while his fans across the world paid him a tribute and sent their wishes to the maestro, it was a cheeky tweet by Cricket Australia that grabbed the most attention.

Tendulkar shares his birthday with former Australian fast bowler Damien Fleming.

Australia's sporting body tweeted a video in which the right-handed pacer can be seen dismissing Tendulkar.

CA tweeted: ‘Some @bowlologist gold from the man himself - Happy birthday Damien Fleming.’

In return, Tendulkar’s fans called out Cricket Australia and posted old videos where the master blaster is seen thrashing Australian bowlers.
However, hours later, Cricket Australia appeared to make up for what some called the 'shameful' tweet with a video tribute to the cricketing legend.
