The Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) on Tuesday named Gate No. 2 of the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium as the ‘Virender Sehwag Gate’.<\/p>\n

Virender Sehwag was at it again on Wednesday. He wished former teammate and birthday boy VVS Laxman in his trademark style on Twitter.<\/p>\n

VVS became a household name post the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2001. Australia had won the first Test in Mumbai and had a strong command in the second Test at Eden<\/p>\n

Gardens until Laxman stepped up to the fore. Laxman, promoted to number 3, played a remarkable knock of 281 \u2013 considered as the best Test knock of last 50 years \u2013 and found an able ally in Dravid who scored 180 to hand the Aussies a target of 384 and then ran out winners by 171 runs to create history.<\/p>\n

Laxman\u2019s twitter feed flooded with wishes from former and current cricketers on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Known for his wit and sarcasm on the social media platform, Sehwag did not disappoint his fans and followers on this ‘very very special’ occasion.<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday @VVSLaxman281<\/a> .
