A few days later, it's Shubman's birthday, and he was in Sri Lanka for the Asia cup. He was chilling in his hotel room with his dad. As the clock strikes midnight, there's a knock on the door, and Shubman opens it. It was Ishan, holding a cake in his hands.
Ishan bursts into the room, 
Ishan: Happy birthday LilS! Happy birthday LilS!!!
Shubman: Thank you so much but you can't call me that. Only my girl is allowed to call me LilS.
Ishan: Achha?? Uncle, aapko pata hai bhabhi Shubman ko kya bulati hai?
His dad (smiles): Kya bulati hai? Baby? 
Ishan (laughs): hahaha!! Nahi!! LilS. Ab guess karo Shubman kya bulata hai?
Shubman: Bas... ab chup ho jaa...
Ishan: Abhi toh maine start kiya hai...
Shubman glares at him but then he takes a closer look at the cake, and to his surprise, it's actually written "Happy birthday LilS" on the cake. 
Shubman (excitedly): Sara ne bheja hai??
Ishan: Obviously! Main kyu LilS bulaunga tujhe? Aur bhabhi ne hi bola tha aise enter karne... Ruk tu!!! Bhabhi ko bataunga main sab!!
Shubman: Chup kar, bhabhi ka chamcha!!
Ishan: Itni pyaari bhabhi ho, toh chamcha banne mein kaisi sharm??!!
Just then, Sara video calls Shubman, 
Sara: Happy birthday Shubbbbb!!!! 
Shubman: Thank you! Thank you Sara!!!
Sara: Did you cut the cake??
Shubman: Not yet!!
Sara: Then cut it...
Shubman gets ready to cut the cake. He's so excited that he starts dancing around with the knife in his hand. But then he bends down, ready to make a heartfelt wish is when Ishan gently hits him.
Ishan (playfully taps him): Cut karnaaa!!!
Shubman: Pehle wish bhi maangni hoti hai...
Ishan exchanges a glance with his dad and they both chuckle.
Finally, Shubman blows out the candle, and Ishan tries to smear Shubman's face with cake, but Shubman quickly dodges and laughs. 
Then, Shubman takes the phone.
Shubman: Thank you so much!! But just tell me one thing.
Sara: What?
Shubman: When are we going to celebrate our birthdays together? Huh? 
Sara: Hahaha, woh bhi kar lenge!! 
Shubman: The world cup is there around your birthday.
Sara: I know but we have a lifetime to celebrate birthdays together, Shub!! 
Shubman: Yeah, you're right! But I miss you!!
Sara: I miss you more!!
In the morning, Jugnu surprised Shubman with a cake. After that, they had a practice session. 
In the evening, the team had a surprise for Shubman's birthday. They organized a special cake cutting celebration for him. Shubman cut the cake and had a slice.
Shubman: Thank you! Thank you!!
Ishan: Thank you thank you mat kar. Idhar aa!!!
Shubman figured out that they were planning to smear the cake on his face. He tried to escape, but Ishan grabbed his hand and didn't let him go. 
Shubman gave Ishan a pleading look, hoping to be spared from the cake facial.
