Several members of the sporting fraternity sent in birthday wishes for him from all corners. But the most special one came in from his former batting partner Sachin Tendulkar. He wished Sehwag to have a boring birthday. Tendulkar then explained it by saying, Sehwag does exactly opposite to what he asks him to do, “When I once told him to go slow and stay on the crease, he said, “ok” and then smashed the very next ball for four. Happy birthday to the man who likes to do exactly the opposite of what I say. So, I am going to say, please have a boring birthday, Viru,” wrote Tendulkar on X.
