10 batsmen to have scored a century on their birthday

​

While having a match-day on your birthday is in itself a huge rarity, scoring a century on your birthday is arguably the best thing that can happen to a batsman on his birthday. Here is a list of batsmen who took their birthday party on to the pitch and gifted themselves with a ton on their birthdays:

1) Sachin Tendulkar (India)

When: April 24,1998 Where: Sharjah Opposition: Australia

The desert storm! Warne's nightmares! Steve Waugh's post match comments! So many things pop up to our minds when we think about this final innings of the Sharjah Cup.

However, it was the birthday boy Sachin Tendulkar who partied hard on the pitch by dancing down the track with the wonderful music of the ball hitting the middle of the bat thereafter.

The Little Master won the game for his country single-handedly with a blistering 134. Chasing 275 at that time was near to impossible as the rules and conditions were not exactly as batsman friendly as it is now. However, Tendulkar was at his aggressive best and played an unforgettable innings.
