Sehwag has called Warner a 'legend' like Warne
David Warner turned 30 on Thursday and who else to wish him but another from the same clan of explosive batsmen - Virender Sehwag.
It was from one fiery opener to another as the former India batsman wished the Australian southpaw on his birthday.
The 38-year-old Sehwag put Warner in an elite category, saying that after legendary spinner Shane Warne, Australia now have Warner. The witty 'Nawab of Najafgarh', experimenting with superlatives in his own way, couldn't hold himself from asking when is the "warnest" expected.
"Happy Bday @davidwarner31 . After having the legend Warne, now Aus have Warner.When is Warnest coming? Also,no warning given by both greats.," tweeted Sehwag.
Happy Bday @davidwarner31 .

Both are arguably the hardest hitters of the cricket ball in the modern era. Apart from playing against each other at the international level, Sehwag and Warner also played together in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Delhi Daredevils.
David Warner, who led Sunrisers Hyderabad to the IPL title earlier this year, celebrated his birthday by scoring a brisk century (134) for New South Wales in a Sheffield Shield match at the Gabba.
Warner's hundred came off 124 balls and the left-hander finished with 134 from 160 deliveries, including 16 fours.
Before this Shield game, two of Warner's three most recent innings had been hundreds -- 117 and 173 in ODIs against South Africa earlier this month.
The first Test against South Africa is coming up in Perth from November 3.
