Star batsman Virender Sehwag celebrated a quiet birthday with family and friends at his residence in New Delhi on Wednesday.
The cricketer, who turned 26, preferred to keep it a private affair even as close relatives and friends dropped in to convey their good wishes.
Sehwag, who marked his return to form with a knock of 155 in the Chennai Test against Australia last week, will spend three more days in the capital before joining his team-mates in Nagpur where the third Test is slated to begin on October 26.
The aggressive batsman, who holds the record for the highest individual Test score by an Indian, has made 2157 runs at an average of 53.92 in 25 Tests. His one-day aggregate reads 3008 runs at an average of 32.
He has scored seven centuries in Tests, including the 309 against Pakistan in Multan and six in the shorter version of the game.
