Virender Sehwag is a master of witty puns and hilarious birthday greetings. Whenever he wishes someone on their birthday, he makes sure that not only the one he is wishing but also the entire Twitter-verse goes ROFL.

Today is the birthday of cricket legend Muttiah Muralitharan. The Sri Lankan spinner is the world’s greatest bowler and holds many records that testify to his greatness.
