Sara's birthday blast: Check messages from Sachin Tendulkar, brother Arjun and to be sister-in-law Saaniya Chandhok

Recently, Sara revealed the reason behind not pursuing a career in cricket. She stated that although she has enjoyed watching her father play some iconic knocks, she never had the drive to step into the sport as a player.

"Never. It's been my brother's forte. I have played gully cricket, but never thought about it," Sara was quoted as saying by NDTV in a report.

Sara further disclosed that visiting Australia every four years when her father was an active player remains one of her favourite and core childhood memories.

"I distinctly remember spending New Year's Eve in Australia, in Sydney—the ones we were there when we visited every four years. We would spend New Year's Eve on a boat with the whole team. That's something I will never forget," she added.

Sara picked her father's retirement match against West Indies at his home ground - the Wankhede Stadium - as one of the memories from the sport that remains vivid.

"If I have to pick one vivid memory, then I would pick his retirement match. I was old enough to really understand what that meant at that point. When I was younger, I went for the games, but I never really grasped the enormity of them," she said.
