Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on November 16, 1971)

Happy birthday to the legendary Waqar Younis! You've bowled over hearts quicker than batsmen could blink. With yorkers more consistent than morning chai, your scorching deliveries made many stumps fly into orbit—earning you over 300 wickets both in Tests and ODIs. Opponents feared your run-up, bats trembled at your approach, and cricket enthusiasts worldwide savored every moment from this Sultan of Swing—and Reverse.

Post-retirement didn't slow you down; showing the same fiery passion as Pakistan's head coach, you've guided new generations of fast bowlers toward greatness. Here's to a birthday filled with laughter, memories sweeter than gulab jamun, and enough joy to break another stump!
