When it comes to making his presence felt, no other cricketer comes even close to the exploits of Virender Sehwag. Whether on or off the field, the former Indian batting sensation knows exactly how to strike a chord with his fans.

Such is his impact that even after his retirement, the legend of Sehwag continues to grow strong. The 'Nawab of Najafgarh' has turned out to be a revelation on the social media. From unique birthday wishes to hilarious comparisons, Sehwag continues to entertain us all with a potent mix of fun, pun and sarcasm.

On the 2nd of May, the former Indian opener once again geared up to pay homage to one of cricket's biggest names with his own twist of uncanny humour. The 'King of Multan' was looking to give his best to West Indies batting legend Brian Lara when he tweeted: "Happy Birthday @BrianLara. BC Lara, kya tha Maara".

While everyone understood the first bit of that tweet, the later half got everyone confused. Using "BC" to address Lara, was Sehwag trying to be witty by deliberately using the shorter version of the popular hindi expletive, or was it something else?

Well, in all likelihood, we would like to believe that the answer to question lies in former Windies cricketer's full name - Brian Charles Lara. Despite all the speculations, Sehwag was indeed trying to wish Lara on his birthday and the letters "BC" in his tweet were only his first and middle name initials.

Well, no matter what he tweets; we'll never be able to figure out what truly goes through the lively brain of Mr Sehwag.

@virendersehwag @BrianLara Why BC Lara stands for??😛😛😛😂😂
