Sehwag, who is an avid music lover, also mentioned the song composed by Pancham Da (RD Burman was fondly called) which he used to sing while batting.

"Remembering the legend #RDBurman ji on Pancham Jayanti. Remember singing 'Aane waala Pal ' frequently while batting, @ashabhosle ji !," tweeted Sehwag.

Pancham Da, who died on January 4 1994, is hailed as one of the greatest music directors in the Indian film industry. He composed music for 331 films, mainly Hindi and Bengali. His work with legendary singers Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle, his wife are still loved by Hindi music lovers.

Sehwag, who is widely remembered for his explosive opening batting for India, used to seek refuge in songs to keep him focussed while batting.

Not just Sehwag, Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar - who was named after the RD Burman's father and legendary composer Sachin Dev Burman - too used to listen to the music before coming to bat.

Sehwag, meanwhile, greeted cricketers Kevin Pietersen and Dale Steyn who are celebrating their birthdays today.

He greeted both in his own unique style.
