New Delhi: Indian cricket team former opener Virender Sehwag hailed his ex-teammate VVS Laxman, saying that the legendary Test specialist is a great friend who made a wonderful contribution to Indian cricket. Fearsome opener Sehwag is hailed as one of the most destructive Test openers to have ever played the game. Laxman has been paying tributes to some of the cricketers who had an influence on his career. On Friday, Laxman paid a tribute to Sehwag, saying the 41-year-old had immense self-belief and positivity which was both "mind-boggling and infectious". "Cocking a snook at those who questioned his pedigree against high-quality fast bowling, Virender Sehwag went on to establish himself as one of the most destructive openers in Test history. Viru's immense self-belief and positivity was as mind-boggling as it was infectious," Laxman said in a tweet. Responding to him, Sehwag wrote: "You have been a great friend and made such wonderful contribution to Indian cricket and are one of the nicest guys, Bhrata."

You have been a great friend and made such wonderful contribution to Indian Cricket and are one of the nicest guys, Bhrata
