Former Indian cricketer and renowned commentator, Ravi Shastri, recently caused a stir on social media by sharing a photo showcasing his stylish side. The snapshot, shared on X (formerly Twitter), depicted Shastri donning a dapper navy blue night suit against a wooden backdrop.
Accompanying the image was a caption that read, “I am hottie, I am naughty, I am sixtyyyy,” adding an element of surprise to his followers. While some speculated it could be part of an upcoming promotional campaign, others assumed it might be a birthday celebration. However, Shastri’s birthday falls on May 27, 1962, debunking the latter theory.
