"Happy birthday to my idol, and my teammate, and an inspiration! Hope you have a lifetime of success in every path you take! Have a great day ahead love always Anil bhai," tweeted Bhajji.

Former India opener Virender Sehwag hailed Kumble's gutsy qualities. "Happiest birthday to one of India's greatest ever match winners, a man who defined grit and courage.
