Padikkal before cutting the cake wished MS Dhoni a happy birthday as well. The BCCI uploaded a video in which Paddikal was seen celebrating his birthday with his teammates at the team hotel. While the Indian players cheered for him, the left-handed batsman picked up the knife and sent a beautiful message to 'captain cool' MS Dhoni before cutting his cake.
As the Indian squad started singing the happy birthday song, Paddikal requested them to stop singing and said: "Before I cut the cake, I would like to wish Mahi bhai on behalf of the entire team. He has been an inspiration for all of us, and to share a birthday with him is a great feeling. So, happy birthday to Mahi bhai."
