It’s been a while since Virendra Sehwag has called it quits on the field but his charisma on Twitter escalates to new heights every time a cricketer celebrates his birthday. Yes, Sehwag has always had a humor of his own but ever since he’s been on Twitter, a lot of us have been introduced to another side of Sehwag.
This time it was Lasith Malinga, the Srilankan bowler celebrating his birthday today, who was on the receiving end of Sehwag’s rather awkward birthday wish.

In fact, yesterday, it was Sir Don Bradman’s birthday and Sehwag included Amitabh Bachchan reference to wish him. No, you cannot even guess HOW.
