former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag, who always showed great respect towards him and rates him the most difficult bowler he ever faced, has wished legendary Sri Lankan bowler Muttiah Muralitharan on his birthday in his own way. Sehwag took to his social media account and tweeted,
“Happy Birthday to the great man,who not only surprised batsman but himself looked surprised & batsman used to think ‘Maut Aaya Muralitharan’.”
One of the most destructive batsman of his time, Sehwag openly admitted many times that Murali was the most difficult bowler for many of his teammates as well. The greatest of the game, Murali took 800 test wickets and 534 ODI wickets in his illustrious career, and currently is associated with IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad as a spin bowling coach.
Sehwag is also presently busy with the Kings XI Punjab franchise as a head Cricket Operations & Strategy. The Glenn Maxwell-led side is sitting at the fifth position right now in the points table and will now take on defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Hyderabad are just above Kings XI in the points table a number four while both the teams have a win and a loss so far.
