Team India captain Rohit Sharma turned 36 on Sunday.

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh shared a video posted a hilarious collage on Twitter. He said the Mumbai Indians skipper should be proud of how far he had come.
“Happy birthday brothaman from being a youngster in the team when I first met you to now leading the team, you’ve done well & should feel proud of how far you’ve come. Hope you score tons of runs & get home loads of trophies this year! Lots of love,” Yuvraj on Twitter.

In modern day cricket, no one looks as easy on the eyes as Rohit Sharma pulling the ball into the stands. It’s as if he has that extra bit of time than others while going for a pull-shot. Simply a genius. Happy birthday, Hitman. pic.twitter.com/LTu3mm0DZP— Rahul Sharma (@CricFnatic) April 29, 2023
