Team India vice-captain Rohit Sharma celebrated his 33rd birthday, yesterday. Several cricket players wished the star opening batsman on his birthday on social media. Rohit made sure that he replied to almost every birthday wishes from his fellow cricketers. Rohit who is known for being extremely funny off the field once again left everyone in splits.
Cheteshwar Pujara, who has played a lot of cricket with Rohit Sharma since the U-19 days took to Twitter to wish him on his birthday. In response, Rohit decided to give another example of his witty sense of humour; thus, trolling him badly.
Pujara tweeted, “Wish you a very happy birthday @ImRo45, hope you have a great year full of happiness, fun and good health”.

Rohit to this replied Pujara and commented “Thanks puji bro. Bhaag puji puji Bhaag”. This delighted everyone and brought back memories of the famous incident that happened between the two. The two were batting against South Africa in a test match last year when Rohit didn’t hold back when Pujara refused a single. Rohit called Pujara for what seemed like a regulation single but he refused. A frustrated Rohit quickly made his crease and shouted “Bhaag puji B*******”.
