Ishant Sharma turned 33 on September 2nd.
India’s premier fast bowler Ishant Sharma celebrated his 33rd birthday on September 2nd, 2021, and received wishes from everywhere. He got blessings and messages from fans and his teammates and colleagues as well.
Ishant is one of the very few accomplished Indian bowlers who has over 100 Test caps and has 311 wickets to his credit, having made his debut in 2007. He also has had a successful career in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and currently plays for Delhi Capitals.
Known in cricketing circles as ‘Lambu’, given that he is 6’4” tall, Ishant Sharma received one of the funniest birthday wishes from none other than Yuvraj Singh, who is known to be one of the most humorous personalities.
Yuvraj shared a post on his Instagram handle wishing 'lambu' (Ishant Sharma), and what was special was that he imitated the Delhi pacer’s voice perfectly while recording his wish for him.
In the video, Yuvraj also mentioned that former Indian great 'Zak' Zaheer Khan has also wished him a happy birthday and hoped that Ishant will take lots of wickets and ensure India's win against England in the ongoing series.
"Just joking lambu! Many happy returns of the day. Lots of love and best wishes always! Hope you have a great test series @ishant.sharma29" he captioned the video.

The funniest part of the whole video was when 'Yuvi Pa' interchanged characters with Ishant referring to himself as Ishant who has the same voice as him and said that what difference does it make that he is copying the 33-year-old pacer when both their styles of speaking is exactly the same.
