Shreyas Iyer doubtful for Rajkot test
According to a media report, Iyer is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for his injury.
Other cricketers and fans too wished the former Indian captain on Twitter.
Veteran Indian batsman and one of the most dashing openers of the modern era Virender Sehwag turned 40 on Friday, October 20, and the cricket fraternity as well fans took to Twitter to post birthday wishes for Viru.
Sehwag, who is well-known for his explosive batting style, has drawn comparisons with many former greats of the game during his playing years. On Friday, veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, while wishing him on his birthday on Twitter, called Virender Sehwag ‘modern-day Viv Richards.’
“Wishing the modern generation’s Viv Richards a.k.a. @virendersehwag, my dear friend a very happy birthday! Hope you have an eventful year full of happiness and joy!,” Harbhajan Singh wrote on Twitter.

A very Happy Birthday to my childhood hero. You are my most favourite player ever. Aapne khelna chor diya, humne dekhna chor diya. You are incredibly missed in the cricket field. Your 50s are much much better than anyone’s 200. Dear @virendersehwag Happy Birthday. Never Change. pic.twitter.com/Vuog7nCz5v
