Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on June 05, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Ajinkya Rahane! From the steady Batting maestro who first thrilled us since 2011 with your graceful right-handed strokes for India to inspiring captaincy heroics overseas—you're aging like a classic Mumbai pav bhaji: always delightful and never out of style.

You may have led Rajasthan Royals brilliantly or swung powerful innings for Mumbai Indians—but fans will forever cherish that magical hundred at Melbourne in 2020 down under. Whether saving India's test pride abroad or anchoring victories back home—you've proven repeatedly you're not just dependable on field but legendary off it too. Keep calm and bat on!
