When it’s the Hitman’s birthday, social media is bound to be sent into a tizzy with thousands of wishes pouring in for the birthday boy. It was no different this time around as greetings came the three-time winning captain of the Indian Premier League (IPL)‘s way in plenty. As Rohit Sharma turned 31 on Monday (April 30), his IPL franchise for the last eight years, Mumbai Indians posted an adorable compilation of Sharma’s school friends wishing him on the occasion.

Sharma was wished on his 31st birthday by millions of his fans. Moreover, renowned former cricketers like VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag also took to social media to wish the swashbuckling batsman. Sharma’s national teammates, Harbhajan Singh and Shikhar Dhawan also wished him with heartwarming messages on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter.

Rohit Sharma receives wishes from childhood friends

In a beautiful gesture, the MI Twitter page posted a video where old school friends of the cricketer were seen wishing him on his birthday. A glimpse of his school premises, Swami Vivekananda International School was also included in the video. Apart from sending across birthday wishes, Sharma’s childhood friends went on to share some anecdotes with fans watching the video.

One of his friends revealed that in their younger days, Sharma’s coach would tell them to eat healthy and stay away from junk food. However, Sharma was a mischievous youngster and would surreptitiously eat Vada Pav. His friends also jokingly said that the flamboyant batsman can sleep in the smallest possible place, even if it’s a tiny chair! The three men speaking on the video lauded Rohit Sharma for having gained the stature he’s at by working extremely hard.

They expressed expectations from the Mumbai Indians skipper to win the IPL cup for the fourth time this year. On second thoughts, they also made a special request to Sharma. Appreciating the double tons that the batsman has in the One-Day format, his friends requested him to break Brian Lara’s Test record and score a 400 in the longest format of the game in near future.

Here’s the video posted by the Mumbai Indians Twitter page:
