New Delhi: Virender Sehwag, in addition to his reputation of being one of the best Indian cricketers, is known for his wit and quirky way of trolling others.
His sense of humour has earned him a social media celebrity status and often, he has taken to Twitter to make jokes, hold discussions and form opinions and has more or less managed to generate a buzz, each time.
This time, Sehwag posted wishes for the great Sir Donald Bradman.
Although Bradman is not with use anymore, still, he is considered the best in the world.
Sehwag tweeted,"A day for every cricket lover to remember Sir Don Bradman, the greatest batsman of all times on his birth anniversary.#BradmanJayanti"
Last year, on August 27, the birth anniversary of Don Bradman, he had tweeted,"Pic 1- Don Pic 2- Bread Pic 3- Man Hpy Birthday Don Bradman, the greatest that could ever have been #BradmanJayanti"
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who was often compared with the Australian great, also tweeted his wishes for the legendary cricketer.
