Former India starter Virender Sehwag, who is quite active on social media, is known for sharing wacky posts on various topics and has also gained a large following. When Shikhar Dhawan turned 35, wishes started pouring in from all corners for the current first match of Team India, but Sehwag’s wishes for his former teammate stand out. Sehwag came up with another gem and took to Twitter wishing Dhawan on his special day.

Sehwag shared an old photo of a smiling young Dhawan and wished to call him “a smiling guy” and urged him to score more runs in Australia. He joked about Dhawan’s association with Australia as his family lives there and called it his “sasural”. He also poked fun at Dhawan’s signer’s celebratory move in which he slaps his thigh after scoring big runs or a catch.
Sehwag tweeted: “Many, many happy returns of the day to an always smiling boy I greatly admire @ SDhawan25. Sasural mein khoob khoob run banao baaki matches mein bhi aur har khushi manaao. May you have many more celebrations, itni ki jaanghein laal ho jaayein ”.

Team India’s scoring machine Shikhar Dhawan, affectionately called ‘Gabbar’, is currently playing Australia on the 2020-21 Down Under tour. The sleek southpaw is one of the most successful white ball starters the team has had in a long time. Dhawan is known for his always smiling and cheerful demeanor on and off the field.
He made his ODI debut against Australia in 2010 and Test in 2013 against the same team. In 2016, he became the fastest Indian to score 3,000 ODI runs in his career and the star cricketer hit the century fastest on 85 balls in his inaugural test.
