In the short clip, Yuvraj was seen mimicking the right-handed bowler's voice and accent.

The video starts with Yuvraj saying that he has heard that it's Ishant's birthday, and then he extended his greetings to the cricketer, saying "Happy birthday to you brother. I hope you are well."

The video ends with Yuvraj jokingly claiming that he is not trying to mimic Ishant as his voice resembles Ishant's.

Yuvraj's video was a huge hit and soon the comments section was filled with remarks from cricket enthusiasts.

Yuvraj's former India teammate Harbhajan Singh dropped a bunch of "Face with Tears of Joy" emojis in the comment box.

Wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik also wished Ishant on his birthday.

Sharing a snap of himself with Ishant in India's Test jersey, Karthik wrote, "Wishing a very happy birthday to you Ishant Sharma. May you touch new heights of success every year buddy!"
