Birthday wishes pour in as Colin de Grandhome turns 33

Birthday wishes poured in for New Zealand all-rounder Colin de Grandhome as he turned 33 on Monday.

Grandhome was the part of the Kiwi team who played the final of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup against England at Lord's on July 14. He took a crucial wicket of Joe Root and returned to the figure of 1-25 in his ten overs. The 33-year-old also bowled the two maiden overs in the final.

Unfortunately, he could not take his team over the line and New Zealand lost to England on boundary count rule as neither the 50-over match nor the subsequent super-over could separate the teams.
