Yuzvendra Chahal celebrates his 32nd birthday today (Saturday). The leg-spinner is currently in Trinidad as part of the Indian ODI team for the on-going series against the West Indies.

Regarded as India's best white-ball spinner, the bowler has taken 192 international wickets since his debut in 2016, 79 of them coming in T20Is (the most by any Indian in the format).

Apart from his on-field exploits, Chahal is famous for his jocular and witty demeanor. A man of his own, the slim tweaker is the funny one in the Indian dressing room.

Besides trapping batters with his loopy leg-breaks, the spinner makes sure that his fans are not deprived of entertainment, whether on the field or away from it. While his on-field performances speak volumes about his commitment to the game, his social media handle is testament to the bowler’s fun quotient.

His social media updates tend to contain amusing, and in some cases, outlandish content. Instead of being concerned about trollers, he simply follows his heart and posts whatever makes him crack up.

On the occasion of his 32nd birthday, let's take a look at Yuzvendra Chahal's five best Instagram posts.

A four-and-a-half month break during IPL 2021 due to the Covid-19 outbreak saw fans and players yearn for the return of the cricketing extravaganza.

The leggie, who was then part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise, posted a picture with the then-RCB skipper Virat Kohli regarding the same.

He uploaded a picture from the first phase of IPL 2021 on his Instagram account where the duo seems to be discussing plans as Kohli has a stern expression on his face. The spinner captioned the pic as follows:

"Bhaiya yeah 20th September kab aayega? (Brother, when will September 20 arrive?")"

The second phase of the IPL had kicked off on September 19th that year, with RCB taking the field on the 20th. His humorous post fetched the attention of many of his followers and fans.
