Dinesh Karthik shares glimpses as Team India take Hardik Pandya's birthday celebration 'to the sky'

Dinesh Karthik on Wednesday took to his Instagram handle to share an inside video of Team India players celebrating Hardik Pandya's birthday in Perth, ahead of the T20 World Cup. The Men in Blue are currently in Australia, preparing for the spectacle, but on Tuesday they took a day off and celebrated Pandya's birthday in a unique manner. 

In the post shared by Karthik, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma, DK himself, birthday boy Hardik, Deepak Hooda, and head coach Rahul Dravid can be seen enjoying the ride upon a small private jet. 

Sharing a picture and a video from their ride, DK came up with a hilarious caption.
