One adores Sachin Tendulkar, the other Virat Kohli. But they came together on one platform for the senior cricketing great on the eve of his 46th birthday yesterday. Sudhir Gautam from Bihar and Bangalore-based Sugumar D were at the Mumbai Press Club yesterday to cut a special cake for the retired batting great.

Sudhir, the first recipient of the Global Sports Fan award, will be followed by Sugumar, who yesterday was declared the second winner of this award to be presented to him on June 14 at Manchester during the ICC World Cup.
