‘Nawab of Twitter’ Virender Sehwag is during it again. The former India opener was during his rib-tickling best while wishing former teammate VVS Laxman on his 42nd birthday.

One of Sehwag’s nicknames might be called ‘Viru’, like Dharmendra’s impression in ‘Sholay’, though a 37-year-old ex-cricketer incited ‘Gabbar’ for Laxman.

In what a salute to Laxman’s deft and wristy character of batting, Sehwag suggested that if a Hyderabad-born cricketer had been in ‘Sholay’ afterwards Gabbar would have said, “Yeh kalaai (wrist) humka dede Laxman.”

The ‘Very Very Special’ cricketer was a buttress in a Indian center sequence and partial of a ‘Fab Four’ along with Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly in a early 2000s.

Laxman scored 17 centuries and 56 fifties with an considerable normal of 45.97 during his Test career. But it is his match-saving and epic hit of 281 opposite Australia during Eden Gardens, regarded by many as one of a best innings in cricket history, that is a many talked about.
