Ishant Sharma turns 29, Sehwag wishes him in unusual way

New Delhi, Sept 2 (IBNS): Former Indian batsman Virender Sehwag came down heavily with his humour on pacer Ishant Sharma who turned 29 on Saturday.

Sehwag used his funny and witty tweets to wish the Indian fast bowler and that was surely a treat for his fans.

Apart from comparing the bowler with tallest building-  Dubai's Burj Khalifa- Sehwag also posted a weird photograph on his Twitter page that resembled Sharma's face when he had attempted to mock Australia skipper Steven Smith during the Test series earlier this year.

Wishing Ishant, he tweeted: "Happy Birthday @ImIshant . Burj Khalifa ji , found out your trainer. Keep entertaining and stay blessed."

Apart from Sehwag, Sharma was greeted by several other cricket stars on this special day of the year.

Former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar wished him by saying: "Many many happy returns of the day, @ImIshant! Stay blessed!"

He shared an old image of himself batting on the ground during a Test match with Ishant on the opposite end as his partner.

Pacer Mohammed Shami greeted the pacer by saying: "Many many happy returns of the day ishant @ImIshant."

Cricketer Rohit Sharma tweeted: "Many happy returns bro may the wicket list continue to grow just like your hair Have a great day @ImIshant."

The ICC posted: "It's @ImIshant's birthday! Do you remember his 3/33 that won him a Player of the Match award and helped India into the #CT13 final?"
