Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag lead twitteratis to wish former India Test great VVS Laxman, who turned 42 on Tuesday. Sehwag wished him on his own humorous style, tweeting, “If Vanigurappa Venkata Sai ji was in Sholay,Gabbar would have said "Yeh kalaai (wrist) humka dede Laxman", while Tendular tweeted, "Happy Birthday Lachi @VVSLaxman281, a fantastic team man, a great human being who always wanted to do something special for India!"
Here is how cricketers wished and showed respect to Laxman who played an epic 281-run innings to hand over World No 1 tam Australia at Eden Gardens in 2001.
Happy Birthday @VVSLaxman281 .
