Former Australian wicket-keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist celebrates his 45th birthday today. He is one of the best wicket-keepers of all time in the cricket history. Apart from his wicket-keeping, he is a great left-handed batsman.
So it is time for the Nawab of Najafgarh to wish his mate birthday wishes. We all know that Sehwag never misses a chance of wishing and trolling his mates and friends. Hence, Sehwag took to Twitter to wish Adam Gilchrist birthday wishes.
As everyone call Gilchrist as Gilly, Sehwag thought of trolling with this name. Sehwag invoked India’s traditional game of ‘Gilli-Danda’ and perfectly conjuring up a beautiful word-play with Gilchrist’s nickname.
Here’s How Sehwag Wished Adam Gilchrist:
Today is a day to play
Gilli Danda as a tribute to the incredible @gilly381 .

However, Gilchrist was quick to react to Sehwag’s birthday wish:
