So the day has finally arrived that every cricket fan in the country was waiting for – Virender Sehwag’s birthday.
The former batsman, who turns 38 today, was one of the most feared batsmen during his playing days. His explosive batting made him one of the greatest entertainers the game had ever witnessed. However, the on-field entertainment came to an end when the batsman bid adieu to cricket last year. But the ‘Nawab of Najafgarh’ has not stopped entertaining his fans. Ever since retiring from the game, the swashbuckling opener has taken Twitter by storm. His witty and sarcastic posts are a huge hit among the fans.
With 7.22 million followed on Twitter, Sehwag is one of the most popular cricketers on Twitter. And it all started with his hilarious birthday messages to his friends, teammates, and other famous personalities around the world. Never the one to mince words, he does not shy away from trolling others. Well, sensing an opportunity the Twitterati gave the batsman a taste of his medicine when they wished him in a hilarious manner.
Here are some of the tweets:
