Virender Sehwag Shares The Story Of The 2003 World Cup

India's record against Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup has been excellent. Actually, till last year, the Indian team had never lost against Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup, but in the T20 World Cup 2021, the Indian team had to face defeat. Now in the Asia Cup 2022, on August 28, the teams of India and Pakistan will face each other. The match between the two teams is always high voltage. At the same time, now former cricketer Virender Sehwag shared the incident 19 years ago.

'Shahid Afridi was constantly abusing Sachin'

The team of India and Pakistan met each other in the World Cup 2003. India defeated Pakistan in this match. Although this match is remembered for the brilliant innings of Sachin Tendulkar, now former cricketer Virender Sehwag has shared an incident. According to Virender Sehwag, when he came as a runner to Sachin Tendulkar, Shahid Afridi was constantly abusing him. He said that I had to come on the field as his runner during the match because he was having cramps and Afridi was abusing him continuously. He was constantly being told something or the other, but Sachin knew that he had to stay at the crease.

'Sachin's innings against Pakistan is the best in the World Cup'

Recalling that match, Virender Sehwag said that we knew that it was a very important match, but Sachin Tendulkar was a very experienced player. Apart from this, he had played many matches against Pakistan. Because of this, he knew that he had to be ready for it. The former Indian opener said that if I talk about his World Cup innings, it was the best innings. He further said that Sachin Tendulkar did not normally take runners, but he knew that if I came as a runner, I would run like him, because of this there would be no confusion.
