Sourav Ganguly celebrates his 50th birthday with Sachin Tendulkar

The BCCI President and the former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly turns 50 today.

For his pre-birthday celebrations, Dada who is currently in England met his former colleague Sachin Tendulkar, BCCI secretary Jay Shah and former IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla.

The latter shared a picture on his Twitter account where they can all be seen sharing a candid moment.

'Celebrated the 50th birthday of Sourav Ganguly, wishing him happy and healthy life ahead', Shukla wrote in the Tweet.

Netizens were impressed to see the 2 cricket legends and one of the most prolific opening duo together.

The southpaw who is known for bringing a revolution in Indian cricket met Sachin Tendulkar in the 1980s. Together they provided some of the most memorable moments in Indian cricket history.

Tendulkar and Ganguly's tally of 6,609 runs in 136 matches is by far the most by any opening duo in the ODI format. They also hold a record for the highest partnership runs in a career with 8,227 runs in 176 innings, with 26 century stands between them. Behind them is the Sri Lankan pair of Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara at 5,992 runs.
