Former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag turned 38 on Thursday and thanked everyone who wished him on his 38th birthday in his inimitable style.
On the special day, everyone wondered how 'Nawab of Najafgarh' or 'Sultan of Multan' who has built a reputation for spelling a laugh riot on Twitter will wish himself a happy birthday.
The swashbuckling former opener who has made a mark for himself on Twitter with his wit and love for birthday wishes did not break this trend and wished himself in the best way.
Yes! We loved it when Sehwag wished himself on twiiter and asked everyone else to sing along to "Happy birthday to me”.
Happy Birthday to me and everyone celebrating their Birthdays today including @sherryontopp Paaji.

On the big-hitting batsman’s birthday, many former and current cricketers took to Twitter to wish him. It was led by Sachin Tendulkar, who wrote on the microblogging website, “He’s the sweetest man who has caused so much destruction! Happy Birthday Lala!”.
Sehwag also received wishes from across oceans with Shane Warne. “Happy birthday my friend, the game of cricket misses your exciting batting and all round entertainment!,” wrote the former Aussie leg-spinner.
Current India coach Anil Kumble also wished Sehwag in his typical calm and composed demeanour. “Happy birthday Viru. Enjoy the day and the year ahead. God bless!,” wrote Kumble.
Other cricketing stalwarts such as Suresh Raina, Chris Gayle, Gautam Gambhir, Mohammad Kaif, VVS Laxman, Irfan Pathan and many others wished Sehwag on twitter and got hilarious replies in return.
Replying to Raina, Viru tweeted, “Thank you Suresh. Bahut log kehte hain “Raina hai Tere Dil Mein”.
