New Delhi: After a festive Tuesday that saw a gate at Feroz Shah Kotla ground in Delhi named after him, Virender Sehwag was back to his quirky self, starting with a birthday wish to VVS Laxman, who in Viru's words is a 'wrist jaadugar' (magician).
Laxman, one of India's Test icons, celebrated his 43rd birth anniversary on Wednesday; and as has become the norm these days among India's sports fraternity, the most innovative greetings came from the Nawab of Najafgarh.
"Wishing #WristJaadugar & Bhrata Shri @VVSLaxman281 a very happy birthday.Can calm any situation with a flick of his wrists.Chitiyan Kalaiyan," Sehwag tweeted.
