"Ever since Shri Narendra Modi ji assumed the role of Prime Minister, he has placed a strong focus on sports. He envisioned that India would excel at the Olympics and win multiple medals. Under his leadership, significant support has been provided to athletes, and the budget for the Ministry of Sports has been substantially increased, which has proven to be highly beneficial. There's something special about his approach-whether it's Olympic or Paralympic athletes, he personally calls, meets, and motivates every medal winner," Sehwag said.

"When he was Gujarat's chief minister, he gave prime importance to sports in the state. As India's Prime Minister, he's trying his best to make sure that India earns a big name in sports globally. I extend my birthday wishes to Shri Narendra Modi Ji as he turns 75, and hope that he remains healthy while continuing to lead the country,” the former India opener added.

"When he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi ji gave top priority to sports in the state. As the Prime Minister of India, he is doing his utmost to ensure that the country earns global recognition in the field of sports. On the occasion of his 75th birthday, I extend my heartfelt wishes to Narendra Modi ji and pray for his good health and continued leadership of the nation," he added.
