Team India's former explosive opener Virender Sehwag has been active on social media after retiring from professional cricket. He has extended his wishes to Rahul Dravid in his unique way.
Dravid is currently in New Zealand, where he is busy in giving coaching the Indian team for the Under-19 World Cup starting on January 13. The team's head coach Dravid has asked everyone to support the Indian team via video message.

In the 2007 World Cup, he played a crucial role as a wicketkeeper for the team in the entire match. Apart from this, Dravid was also a good fielder. On his 45th birthday, his supporters and former cricketers have conveyed congratulatory messages through social media.
Here is how other players wished Dravid:

Happy birthday, Rahul Bhai. A thorough gentleman who taught us the meaning of commitment and sacrifices. Getting my ODI and Test caps from you will always hold a special place in my heart.
