Wishes have poured in for Turbanator Harbhajan Singh on his birthday, with the spin king who will somehow always be a youngster in 90s and 2000s fans' eyes turning 39.

Among those who wished him was his former teammate from both India and Mumbai Indians Sachin Tendulkar who took to Twitter and wrote in Punjabi:

Yuvraj Singh, who announced his retirement from International Cricket only recently and similarly played with Bhajji for many years sent in his wishes with an inside joke or two and wrote:

Clearly a favourite among his his teammates, a wave of other former Team India stars' wishes followed. Here's what Robin Uthappa wrote:

Sunrisers Hyderabad cricketer Yusuf Pathan too wished a happy birthday to Harbhajan Singh:

"Wishing @harbhajan_singh Bhajju pa, Happy Birthday Have a wonderful year ahead, best wishes." 

Harbhajan's birthday just adds to what is an intensely Cricket-filled atmosphere, with the World Cup ongoing. Additionally, Harbhajan was also a part of the World Cup 2011 winning squad. On June 25, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh came out to relieve India's first ever World Cup win in 1983. The duo posted the picture of Kapil Dev and Mohinder (Jimmy) Amarnath posing with the World Cup trophy at the Lord's balcony.
