Rashid Khan hails Bhuvneshwar Kumar as 'very special person' in his birthday tweet

Veteran Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar turned 29 on February 5, 2019. On his birthday, the good wishes came in flooding for him from the cricket fraternity. From his teammates to the fans, everyone took this opportunity to wish him an excellent year ahead. Among the lot who wished Bhuvi on his birthday, was Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan.

Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar share great camaraderie on and off the field. The two iconic bowlers have been stalwarts in the Sunrisers Hyderabad camp in the Indian Premier League for over two seasons now. The duo have stitched numerous bowling partnerships to script many winning anecdotes for the Orange Army, whilst defending low totals.

For the fans, it would be great to see them sparkle in the Orange outfit in IPL 2019 as well. Last season, after one of the league games, Bhuvi and Rashid were seen exchanging mutual praises on an after-match show.

Bhuvi, back then, had hilariously requested Rashid to not try his wily tricks on Indian batsmen in international matches. This was in the light of the India vs Afghanistan historic Test match that was scheduled to be played after the IPL 2018. The duo had shared a big laugh on the joke.

It has been an year since that happened, but there seems to be no love lost. Rashid was quick to wish Bhuvneshwar on his birthday and posted a big tweet. He hailed the Indian pacer as a very special person and wished for good things to come for Bhuvneshwar in the future. He hopes to see Bhuvi move forward in life with confidence and courage, and have a great new beginning to pursue even bigger heights.

Here is what Rashid Khan came up with:

“Birthdays are a new start, a fresh beginning and a time to pursue new endeavors with new goals. Move forward with confidence and courage. You are a very special person. May today and all of your days be amazing! Happy Birthday @BhuviOfficial Bhai,” Rashid Khan wrote in his tweet for Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
