Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag used to hit sixes and fours while batting on the field and nowadays he is hitting sixers with his witty tweets on the micro-blogging site, Twitter.
The man has been a sensation on Twitter ever since he took to the platform. He is especially famous for giving amusing birthday wishes and today, he wished birthday to one of the great bowlers of his time, Saqlain Mushtaq.
As known for his wit, Sehwag posted a birthday wish to former Pakistan off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq in a unique style. This time the special was the video of uploaded along with the tweet.
Sehwag has reminded Saqlain of the time he hit a six off his bowling to bring up a triple century during a Test at Multan in 2004. Incidentally, he was the first Indian to score triple century in the test matches.
With the video, he wrote: “A very happy birthday dear @Saqlain_Mushtaq. Stay blessed and Thank you for the memories. Enjoying watching this in loop.”
Have a look at Sehwag’s tweet:
A very happy birthday dear @Saqlain_Mushtaq .
Stay blessed and Thank you for the memories. Enjoying watching this in loop. pic.twitter.com/QOryy3L2TF— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) December 29, 2016
In his tweet, Sehwag thanked Saqlain for the memories and also asked him to enjoy watching the video in loop. This must be a difficult moment for Saqlain to decide as to Viru paaji is wishing him or making him relive the old memories which are just equivalent to a nightmare.
Virender Sehwag had brutally smashed the Pakistani bowling line up and scored a massive 309 and became ‘Multan ka Sultan’. India put a team total of 657 runs and on the other hand Saqlain Mustaq conceded 204 runs in 43 overs and picked just a single scalp.
When the video went viral, the fans could not stop replying to this tweet.
