Birthday wishes poured in for Indian opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan from across the cricketing fraternity as the left-hander turned 33 on Wednesday.

From the International Cricket Council (ICC) to master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, a number of people took to Twitter to extend their good wishes to Dhawan on his special day.

"8,482 international runs and counting for India. The first Indian to score a century before lunch on the first day of a Test. The fastest century scored on Test debut, off just 85 balls v Australia at Mohali in 2013. Happy birthday, @SDhawan25," ICC wrote along with his picture in the blue jersey.

Sharing a video of Dhawan's knocks against West Indies, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BBCI) wrote: "Here's wishing #TeamIndia opener and our very own 'Gabbar' @SDhawan25 a very happy birthday. Relive one of his fine knocks against West Indies #HappyBirthdayGabbar."

"Many happy returns of the day, @SDhawan25! Wishing you a great year ahead. Keep the runs flowing. #HappyBirthdayDhawan," Tendulkar tweeted.

Mocking Dhawan's moustache, the most destructive batsman of all time, Virender Sehwag tweeted: "Moochhe hon toh Nathulal jaisi hon, warna Gabbar jaisi hon. Happy Birthday @SDhawan25 ! Aise hi moochon aur bowlers ko ainthte raho."

Rashid Khan, one of the eleven cricketers to play in Afghanistan's first ever Test match against India, wrote: " Sending you a birthday wish wrapped with all my love. Have a very happy birthday @SDhawan25 Bhai."

"Happy birthday brother @SDhawan25 lots of love to you jattaaaaa," wrote Harbhajan Singh.

VVS Laxman tweeted, "Many more happy returns of the day @SDhawan25 . May you taste more success and experience more love and happiness !" 

Shikhar too took to twitter to thank everyone for their wishes.

The dynamite player from Delhi is the leading run-maker in the Ranji Trophy with a total of 461 runs in six matches. Ranked at number eight in One-Day International (ODI) format and at number 11 in Twenty-20 International format, Dhawan was also the top scorer in the 2004 U-19 World Cup.
