As India’s former fast bowler Ajit Agarkar turned 40 on Monday, his former teammate and roommate Harbhajan Singh, instead of gifting him, asked something from the speedster with a wink on his birthday.
“Happy birthday Roomie @imAagarkar…could you send me something please. Wish you all the happiness brother..#TopFella,” Harbhajan Singh said on Twitter.

Another teammate Suresh Raina hailed Agarkar for his athleticism on the turf.
“Happy birthday @imAagarkar, a fantastic athlete! An athlete who gave it his all on the field, be it batting, bowling or fielding! Miss watching those opening spells,” Raina wrote.
