Virender Sehwag wishes MS Dhoni on #NationalHelicopterDay

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag is also known for his cheeky Tweets and here he came up with another one on Thursday. It is the occasion of the birthday of the Indian limited-overs skipper MS Dhoni. Sehwag while wishing Dhoni on his 35th termed it as the National Helicopter Day.

“Happy Birthday. May you keep doing Anhoni ko Honi. #NationalHelicopterDay,” Sehwag tweeted.

‘The Helicopter Shot’ is the Indian captain’s signature shot and something he has mastered over the years. It’s the shot with which he drills out full-length deliveries the yorkers and whips it over the fence with ease. A shot he executes with the sheer power of his wrists.

Happy Birthday @msdhoni .
