Iconic batsman Sachin Tendulkar turned 37 on Saturday today with getting a perfect birthday gift a day before when he was adjudged the best batsman of IPL III in an award function. However, Tendulkar will have to put his birthday celebrations on hold as he has some unfinished task to complete in the IPL final on sunday.
