Chennai, Apr 25 : Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar`s 35th birthday was warm and quite as he cut the cake surrounded by his teammates at a city hotel here today.

Tendulkar cut a rectangular-shaped cake having a logo of Mumbai Indians.

He was joined by two other Mumbai Indians players, Luke Ronchi and Vikrant Yeligati, who had delayed their birthday celebrations as their birthday clashed with their team`s match against Chennai Super Kings yesterday.

Australian Ronchi turned 27, while Yeligati celebrated his 23rd birthday.

Tendulkar said, "I wish I could celebrate my birthday with my wife and children, but that is not so. They are joining me at Mohali tomorrow."

"The wishes of my fans and teammates are the best gift I have received today. I hope I will perform better this year," Tendulkar added.

The cake was distributed to every person present at the party, including members of the media.
