Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday took to Twitter to wish Ishant Sharma on his 30th birthday. Tendulkar’s quirky wish for the Indian pacer will come as serious competition to his one-time opening partner Virender Sehwag. Sehwag’s wacky style of extending birthday greetings to former teammates has attained legendary status on Twitter but the ‘Nawab of Najafgarh’ better start looking over his shoulder.
“@ImIshant! पेड़ से नारियल निकालते निकालते, लंबू बन गया! Only fitting that your birthday is celebrated on #WorldCoconutDay.🌴 😜 Have a great one” he wrote on his twitter handle.
The right-arm pacer recently became the third Indian fast bowler to reach 250 Test wickets. Ishant also became the seventh Indian bowler to reach the milestone of 250 Test wickets. Kapil Dev (434 wickets), Zaheer Khan (311 wickets), Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin and Bishan Singh Bedi are the others.
