“Bhagwan ka diya hua sab kuch hai; 360° aura hai, Paltan ka pyaar hai hai, izzat hai…” 😎

Birthdays are always special, but when it’s Surya दादा’s वाढदिवस, it hits differently yaar! Because SKY isn’t just another cricketer, he’s an emotion for every member of our beloved #OneFamily. 💫

But what really makes Surya a total fan favourite? The answer is quite straightforward - It’s his natural simplicity! Calm under pressure, destructive when the opposition thinks they’re safe, always that “I’m here spirit" <IYKYK 😉> and making the bowlers go “mereko toh aisa dhak dhak ho rela hai.”

Abhi maza aayega na bhidu 🤩🔥

Needless to say, Surya can flip a game at his will. One second he’s cool as ice, the next moment he’s smashing 360° shots that leave bowlers scratching their heads as if to say, “karein toh karein kya, daalein toh daalein kya?!” 😂 That’s Surya wizardry for you - unpredictable, entertaining and always blockbuster.

Off the pitch? Arre, total Bambaiya connection! ✔️ He’s a massive food-paglu, drools on proper street wala triple schezwan rice as his cheat meal & basically lives the life of every मुंबईकर who’s juggling dreams with cutting chai in one hand. That’s why Paltan relates to him so much - he’s simply one of us!

…And oh, the memories in the iconic Blue and Gold! From those twin trophies in the cabinet to countless nusta radas across cities, it has been an अप्रतिम journey so far. The love he’s poured into the team, the love he’s got back - Just MI things, you know! 💙

So, here’s to आपला chill guy who lights up Mumbai, one supla shot at a time. Heartiest Happy Birthday, Surya! 🥳
