From Bollywood celebrities to his former India teammates, everybody wished legendary cricketer Virender Sehwag well as he announced retirement on Tuesday, the day he turned 37.
Sehwag is arguably one of the best batsmen India has produced. None of us can forget his triple-century in Multan during India’s 2003-04 tour of Pakistan.
Following are the some of the tributes paid to Sehwag:
Had the best seat during most of his superlative performances on field. Am sure Viru'll do much more to bring joy & smiles to our faces 2/2
