Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on September 23, 1952)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Anshuman Gaekwad—the original "Great Wall" of Indian cricket! Your defensive batting was so solid, bowlers often wondered if you secretly built a brick wall behind your stumps. Watching you patiently frustrate opponents ball after ball remains one of cricket's timeless joys.

From your gritty innings against West Indies' fearsome pace attack in 1976, where courage met resilience, to becoming India's trusted anchor during tough times—you've always stood firm. May this birthday bring as much joy and laughter as you've given fans over the years—though hopefully with fewer bruises than those brave innings!

Cheers to many more runs around life's pitch!
