Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on October 29, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Matthew Hayden! Like your powerful sweep shots and aggressive batting style, you just keep getting better with age. From debuting for Queensland in 1991, charging onto the international cricket scene in 1994, to becoming one of Australia's legendary left-hand openers—you've spent decades dominating bowlers and leaving commentators speechless.

Your record-breaking innings—including that jaw-dropping 380 runs against Zimbabwe—still gives bowlers nightmares. Wishing you a birthday filled with as much joy as watching you smash sixes effortlessly out of stadiums (though we hope candles on the cake will be easier targets!). Keep swinging for the fences and scoring big milestones every year!
