Middle-order batsman Suresh Raina who is recovering from viral fever and missed the first two matches of the ongoing One-Day series against New Zealand tweeted: "Happy birthday @virendersehwag# #legend # big brother."
Sehwag holds the record of being the only Indian batsman to have scored a 300 in Tests twice. He scored 319 against South Africa in 2008 and 309 against Pakistan in Multan.
