Indian cricketers, Smriti Mandhana and Shreyanka Patil, are not only integral members of the India Women’s team but also valuable teammates for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women. Despite a six-year age gap, their friendship and mutual understanding are evident to the public through their on-field interactions and off-field moments.
As Shreyanka turns 22 on 31st July, Mandhana crafted a humorous birthday wish for her young friend, capturing the attention of numerous fans. The post was widely enjoyed by netizens on social media, as evidenced by the vibrant comment section.

In a video shared on her official Instagram account, Mandhana was seen directing Shreyanka, who was preparing for an event to retrieve an item from the cupboard on the right which she had originally opened in a hotel room. Upon opening the wardrobe, Shreyanka was met with a startling roar that terrified her, causing her to collapse to the ground in shock. Meanwhile, Mandhana was left in fits of laughter, thoroughly amused by both the prank’s execution and Shreyanka’s reaction.
According to the caption beneath the post, the footage was from a few days before Shreyanka’s 22nd birthday, with Mandhana extending heartfelt wishes for a remarkable 2024 ahead for her dear friend.
