Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar who will turn 38 on Sunday, is praying for the good health of Shri Sathya Sai baba who is suffering with multiple organ failure.

“I m praying for Shri Sathya Sai Baba's quick recovery. Hope everyone will join me in praying for his return to good health,” tweets Sachin.

Tendulkar, an ardent devotee of the 85-year-old Baba has also decided to cancel his birthday celebration in view of the worsening condition of the spiritual leader.

The Mumbai Indians captain did not arrive with the team Saturday for the match against Deccan Chargers here Sunday, but is expected to come later in the day, according to sources in the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA).

He is, however, uncertain for the match and has also decided not to celebrate his birthday, sources said.

"He may stay away from Sunday's match so that he can visit Puttaparthi, the pilgrim town in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, in case of any eventuality," sources said.

Tendulkar, who has visited Puttaparthi on several occasions to seek Baba's blessings, had planned a party in the hotel to celebrate his birthday. The Mumbai Indians management and HCA officials had even made some arrangements for the party.

The condition of Sai Baba continues to remain very critical and his vital organs are showing minimal response to treatment, a senior doctor attending on him said on Saturday.

Devotees all over the world are praying for the recovery of the Godman.
