Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on May 10, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Harikrishna! From prodigy to grandmaster extraordinaire—your chess moves have dazzled us all. You've represented India proudly in six Chess Olympiads since 2000; clearly your strategy is aging better than fine wine!

Whether it's outsmarting opponents with brilliant endgames or calmly navigating complex positions under pressure, you always keep fans on the edge of their seats (and rivals scratching their heads). May this birthday bring as much joy and excitement as that unforgettable moment when you clinched victories for Team India.

Here's wishing our favorite king-hunter another year filled with checkmates—and cake slices—as sweet as victory itself!
