Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag acknowledged the hospitality of the Pakistanis during their visit to the country, saying the warmth of the Pakistani people brought tears to his eyes.
In 2003, India began an ODI and Test tour of Pakistan after 17 years, with the two long-standing rivals engaged in a five-match white-ball series and a three-match red-ball series.
The visiting team showed their dominance, winning in both ODI and Test formats.
“In 2004 we went to Pakistan and our second Test was in Lahore. I bought 30 to 35 suits for my mother, sister, aunt etc. When I went to the shopkeeper for payment, he said, ‘You are our guest, how can we take money from you?’ said during an interview.
“Nobody took any money from us in Pakistan, I bought 30-35 sarees for my family from Lahore, and they didn’t take a single penny,” Virender Sehwag.
‘Aap toh mehman ho, aapse payse kse le sakte hai hum?’

“Wherever we went on the tour in Pakistan which was 17 years later… 2003-2004… there was not a single place where we didn’t get a lot of love. They would ask us where in India we are from and we would tell them we are from Delhi so they would say that their relatives used to live in Delhi and that place or road is still there.
He said, hearing people’s stories would touch their hearts and become emotional. He added, “We had tears in our eyes but we were also happy that we were like two estranged brothers.”
