If cricket were a film, Sunil Gavaskar is Sholay: Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag had put down his cricket bat for international cricket a couple years ago but continues to be in good form on Twitter. The former dashing opener loves spending time on Twitter and has made sure his follower count keeps shooting up with some interesting tweets. Viru was never conventional while on the cricket field, did his bit in his own style and has a pretty similar approach on the micro-blogging social media platform.

Today as the legendary Sunil Gavaskar celebrates his 67^th birthday Sehwag posted a special Tweet to wish the little master and that was the dose of hilariousness for the day. He wrote – ‘What Gavaskar did without helmet,its difficult for ppl these days to do with all equipments.If cricket were a film,Sunil Gavaskar is Sholay’
