Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 13, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Faf du Plessis! The man who bats with style, bowls occasionally (when the captain's desperate), and fields like gravity doesn't apply to him. From your heroic innings for South Africa in the 2011 Cricket World Cup to becoming one of cricket’s elite Players Of The Year that same season—your journey has been nothing short of legendary.

Whether you're smashing boundaries for Chennai Super Kings or pulling off impossible catches on the boundary line, you've always made cricket look effortlessly cool. May you continue defying age as gracefully as you defy fielders!

Here's wishing a timeless cricketer an equally timeless birthday celebration—keep hitting life's challenges out of the park!
