Bhubaneswar: The Barmy Army, the fan group of England cricket, was trolled for wishing cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar on his 49th birthday with an image of his dismissal with the England players celebrating his wicket in a huddle.

Indian leg-spinner Amit Mishra also gave a befitting reply to the post by sharing a collage of the highs of Tendulkarâs career achieved against England.
