On April 30, Team India captain Rohit Sharma celebrates his 36th birthday. Rohit, who is currently playing for the Mumbai Indians in the 2023 Indian Premier League, is the most successful captain in the annals of the tournament, having won it five times. Rohit has been the full-time captain of the Indian team since 2021, and led the squad to the T20 World Cup semifinals in 2018.

On the occasion of Rohit’s 36th birthday, a number of Indian cricketers took to their official social media profiles to send him birthday wishes.

Former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan, who worked with Rohit at Mumbai Indians, wished him “Happy Birthday, Brotherman!” It has been a pleasure to observe your development as a person, cricketer, and family man! I wish you continued prosperity in life and in your career. Cheers.”

Dinesh Karthik, the wicketkeeper-batsman who made an inspiring revival to the Indian team under Rohit’s captaincy last year, took to Twitter to send his best wishes to Rohit. “Many years of happiness to you, Sham! Giving you that kiss straight back,” Karthik wrote.

Star former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, who was one of the senior players in the dressing room when Rohit first joined the Indian team, wrote, “Happy birthday brothaman, from being a youngster in the team when I first met you to now leading the team, you’ve done well and should be proud of how far you’ve come. I hope you score tons of runs and bring home loads of trophies this year! Lots of affection.”

Suresh Raina, another of Rohit’s former India teammates, also wished him on Twitter. “Happy Birthday, friend @ImRo45.. Best wishes for your success, health, and happiness. “It’s great to see you grow as a leader, brother,” Raina wrote.

Yuzvendra Chahal, India’s premier leg-spinner, sent a heartfelt birthday greeting to Rohit. “Happy Birthday to my favorite and best brother in the entire universe, @ImRo45. Happy birthday to my guiding light, my best friend, and the person who makes me laugh more than anyone else on earth. Happy Birthday Rohitaaaaaa shramaaaa,” wrote Chahal.

The Mumbai Indians will play the Rajasthan Royals on Sunday evening, attempting to avoid a third consecutive setback in the current tournament.
