Team India star all-rounder Hardik Pandya celebrated his 29th birthday in style as the reigning IPL champion had fun with his Men in Blue teammates on land, water and sky. On Tuesday, Pandya posted pictures and videos on social media from his celebrations on a cruise ship and a private plane.

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik took to his official Instagram handle on Wednesday to post a video from the all-rounder's birthday celebration on the private plane, which also included skipper Rohit Sharma, all-rounder Deepak Hooda and head coach Rahul Dravid.

In the plane, Pandya was sitting beside the pilot in the front, trying to start the plane's engine while Rohit Sharma and Deepak Hooda are sitting in the last two rows as Rahul Dravid was sharing the row with Karthik behind the pilots.

Out of excitement, Dinesh Karthik started recording a video and captured everyone in the plane with Rahul Dravid being the absentee. As soon as the 37-year-old wicketkeeper turned the camera towards Rohit, the skipper appeared to use the cuss word 'Ch****a' in an amusing way. Karthik captioned the post, " Celebrating birthdays on ground was too mainstream so we took it to the sky."
