One of the most destructive batsmen to have ever played the game, Virender Sehwag managed to show the world that sometimes, the natural way to play was the most effective. He was one of the best players for India for close to a decade and is the only player to have achieved two double centuries for the country.
Sehwag called time on his career a few years back but has still been entertaining people off it with his quirky commentary, both on social media and the box. As he entered his 39th year, most of the cricketing fraternity got together to wish the legend on the occasion. Some of the wishes tried to emulate Sehwag with some wit but Sehwag once again proved that he was the king with some wittier replies.
The likes of Chris Gayle, Rohit Sharma, Anil Kumble, Sachin Tendulkar, Ajinkya Rahane and Parthiv Patel all wished the batsman and he responded to each of their tweets in his typical funny style.
Many happy returns of the day virupa..keep shining…#legend @virendersehwag pic.twitter.com/aikuXgbsHd
