"Your Photos Are More Romantic Than Mine": On Rohit Sharma's Birthday, Yuzvendra Chahal And Ritika Sajdeh's Banter On Instagram Is Pure Gold

Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team and Mumbai Indians captain, celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday. Over the last couple of years, Sharma has grown into his role for Team India, becoming the captain in all three formats. However, his Indian Premier League (IPL) team MI is not doing well in the 2022 edition as it is placed last in the 10-team league. On Sharma's special day, wishes poured him from all quarters. The cheekiest of the lot however came from Sharma's long-time India teammate Yuzvendra Chahal, who is playing for Rajasthan Royals, in the IPL 2022.

In response to Chahal's birthday wish to Sharma on Instagram, which included a series of photographs of the two cricketer, the India captain's wife Ritika Sajdeh came up with some equally brilliant response that won the internet.

"The love & respect for my Rohitaa Shramaa will always be constant on & off field Found my bade bhaiya Wishing you lifetime of happiness, amazing games & good health Happy birthday Hitman," Chahal wrote on Instagram.

"The last picture got me your photos are more romantic than mine," Sajdeh replied to the post.

And then Chahal came up with this. "I'm sure bhabhi my wife also has the same thing to say," he wrote.

Chahal and Sharma off the field camaraderie is well known. The two have often been known to indulge in jokes, but Sajdeh on Saturday took it to the next level.
