India speedster Mohammad Shami turned 31 on Friday (September 3) and his teammate Rishabh Pant had posted a birthday wish with banter on Twitter. Pant reminded Shami that his age is going out of hands as fast as his deliveries.

“@MdShami11 bhai, ball aur umar dono tezi se nikli jaa rahi hai. Happy birthday!”, Pant wrote in his tweet. Both the cricketers are currently in the United Kingdom for the ongoing Test series against England.

Shami responded to the tweet a little late but he had a hilarious comeback for his junior teammate. He took a jibe at Rishabh’s weight and told him that no one can stop the increasing age but weight can definitely be controlled.

“Apna time aayega beta ball or Umar ko koi nahi rook saka but motape ka treatment aaj bhi hota hai @RishabhPant 17,” he responded.

Shami is not part of the fourth Test between India and England at The Oval but despite missing the game due to a niggle, he was seen celebrating his birthday with fans in the stadium. He obliged his fans and went to them to cut the cake near the boundary rope.
