In the history of cricket, we have seen all type of openers, there have been explosive openers, there have been attacking openers, there are openers who only do 'bhumi-pujan' and then there is Virender Sehwag. The former Indian cricketer has turned 39 today. He was born on 20 October 1978 in Delhi.
Virender Sehwag totally revised Test opening with his bat and told the world that even in 'Test cricket' one can be explosive in their shot selection. Even though the cricketer has said goodbye to the world of cricket a few years ago, yet he holds a special place in the hearts of cricket fans.
The former Indian opener, who gifted India its first triple century in Test, has the record of highest individual score in Test cricket.
Here is how Twitter wished Virender Sehwag on his birthday:
तने खेलना छोड़ दिया हमने देखना छोड़ दिया ना वो भी जमाना था जिब भाई की बैटिंग ट्रैक्टर की बैटरी धरके देखा करते
