Sehwag's birthday wish for Venkatesh Prasad will rub salt in the wound of Pak fans

Every time Virender Sehwag has wished anyone on his birthday, he made sure that his statement didn't go unnoticed. The wit of the former India batsman makes him as interesting off the field as he was on it.

While wishing former pacer Venkatesh Prasad, Sehwag recalled the quarter-final of 1996 World Cup between India and Pakistan where Prasad rattled the stumps of Aamir Sohail and gave the latter a send-off.

Incidentally, Sohail had hit Prasad for a boundary and then in the very next ball, the lanky pacer knocked back the timber of the left-hander and reacted aggressively showing the way of the pavilion to the batsman. It was this incident that Viru was talking about and termed it as 'prasad', which means offering in English.

Some of his fans had some hilarious responses to this post.

@virendersehwag Just like the old times, Sehwag never lets his strike rate fall down. Another day, another great tweet.
