Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar turned 32 on Sunday and as in the past celebrated his birthday quietly outside the city with his wife Anjali and two children.

The master batsman, who protects his privacy intensely and doesn't allow any intrusion on it, held his birthday celebrations with his close family members and friends at an undisclosed location outside Mumbai, it was learnt.

The maestro had modest success with the bat in his 31st year and the prayers of his well-wishers on his birthday are for more success for him as well as the Indian team whose fortunes have also taken a hit of late.

Tendulkar and India don't have any international commitment till the scheduled triangular limited-overs international series in Sri Lanka in August.
