Former India opener Virender Sehwag turns 41 today (20 October).
Former India opener Virender Sehwag turns 41 today (20 October). The man sure has an impact on and off the field.
From making a place for himself in a lineup that included Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid and more, he made a place for himself as one of the dangerous batsmen.
He made sure he smashed the ball out of the park on the very first delivery.
Brett Lee on a talk show had once even recalled how during a Test match, Viru would hit the first ball for a six. "Viru relax; its a Test match," he told the show's anchor. This is how Sehwag had kept the bowlers terrified.
Now retired from cricket, he keeps his fans entertained on social media throughout the year. Not only does he wish people he knows in a unique manner but also his posts inevitably end up going viral.
Now on his birthday, Twitter was ablaze.
