Former Indian Test cricketer Virender Sehwag praised the hospitality of Pakistanis, saying he was moved by the warm reception he received from the locals during his visit to the country.
India toured Pakistan in 2003 to play five One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Tests. India won the ODI series 3-2 and the Test series 2-1.
While recalling the tour during an interview on a YouTube channel, Sehwag said that Pakistani people were very welcoming.
“When we went back to Pakistan in 2003-04, we got a lot of love from the Pakistani people,” he shared.
“Before the second Test in Lahore, we went shopping. I bought around 30-35 Pakistani suits for my family from the local market. The shopkeeper refused to take money from me, saying I was a guest, and how could he take money? From a guest. We have received such love all over Pakistan,” he added.
‘Inzamam was Asia’s greatest middle-order batsman’
In the same interview, Sehwag praised Inzamam-ul-Haq.
“Inji bhai was very sweet. Everyone talks about Tendulkar but I believe Inzamam was the greatest middle order batsman in Asia,” he praised.
“Tendulkar was out of the batsmen’s league, he was above it. But, Inzamam was the best in the middle order. I am talking about 2003-04 when an average of around eight was just a fantasy. Teams were terrified of such conditions but Inzamam averaged around eight then. Stay calm,” he added.
Inzamam is one of Pakistan’s best batsmen of all time. He represented his country in 120 Tests, 378 ODIs and one T20I from 1991 to 2007. He was also a part of Pakistan’s World Cup winning team in 1992.
