Tributes and wishes poured in for former Indian opener Virender Sehwag as fans and former cricketers hailed the 'most dangerous batsman of all-era' on his birthday. The explosive opener from Delhi amassed 8586 runs in Tests and 8273 runs in ODIs during his international career that spanned for over two decades.

Members of the cricketing fraternity and netizens hailed Virender Sehwag as one of the most entertaining batsman across all formats of the game, as they took to social media to wish their beloved 'Viru paaji'.
