Manjrekar got his eyes on Sachin's yellow walkman and said the former India batsman was as attached to it as his cricket bat.
"Many many happy returns of the day, Sanjay! Wish you good health and happiness always!" ,Tendulkar captioned the post.
Responding to the tweet, Sanjay replied, "Thank you very much Sachin. So sorry for the late reply. Remember the yellow ‘Walkman’ headphones in the pic. You were as attached to them as you were to your bat."
Tendulkar was presented with the yellow Sony Walkman on his 17th birthday during the tour to Sharjah in 1990.
Even Ajay Jadeja, the former India batsman who played with Sachin, had said he took care of the Walkman for years. “That (1990 Sharjah) tour had his birthday as well. He was presented a yellow Sony Walkman. Fans over the years must have seen him walking around with it. He took really good care of all his belongings, so they always lasted long like his innings.
"But I remember in those days, it was all about teamwork.. so if one player was wearing headphones and the others weren't, then he was considered antisocial.
"Some seniors didn't like it ... However, today if you look around, every other player walks out wearing headphones," Jadeja was quoted by Sportstar.
