Virender Sehwag, the Indian Batting Legend, Celebrates 46th Birthday
Indian cricket legend Virender Sehwag turned 46 on Sunday, prompting an outpouring of birthday wishes from the cricket fraternity on social media.
Sachin Tendulkar, Sehwag’s former teammate and fellow batting icon, humorously noted that Sehwag’s age of 46 is a “perfect mix of four and six,” mirroring his explosive batting style.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) extended its birthday greetings, highlighting Sehwag’s remarkable achievements, including his 8,586 Test runs and 8,273 ODI runs.
Yuvraj Singh, Sehwag’s long-time teammate and World Cup-winning all-rounder, playfully remarked that Sehwag is the reason bowlers’ economy rates are ruined.
Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly, who played a pivotal role in Sehwag’s development as a batter, wished his “younger brother” a happy birthday.
Harbhajan Singh, the former Indian spinner, expressed his admiration for Sehwag’s “blazing centuries,” which will forever be etched in the memories of cricket fans.
Suresh Raina, the former middle-order batter, thanked Sehwag for inspiring generations with his “fearless cricket.”
Sehwag’s illustrious career spanned 104 Test matches, 251 ODIs, and 19 T20Is. He holds the record for the fastest Test triple century, reaching 300 off just 278 balls. He is also the only Indian to have scored two Test triple hundreds.
Sehwag’s aggressive batting style and ability to dominate bowlers made him one of the most feared batsmen of his era. He retired from all forms of international cricket in October 2015, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable performances.
