Laxman heaped praise on Sehwag for his self-belief and positivity and labelled him as one of most destructive openers in the history of the longest format of the game.
“Cocking a snook at those who questioned his pedigree against high-quality fast bowling, @virendersehwag went on to establish himself as one of the most destructive openers in Test history. Viru’s immense self-belief and positivity was as mind-boggling as it was infectious.” tweeted Laxman in Sehwag’s praise.
In response, Sehwag said,” You have been a great friend and made such wonderful contribution to Indian Cricket and are one of the nicest guys, Bhrata.”
