In an interview to Indian media, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag said that when I made my debut against Pakistan, I was 21 years old at the time. When it came to batting, Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi, Muhammad Yousuf and Shahid Nazir abused me. Give
Virender Sehwag said that Pakistani players greeted me on the crease with insults, my neighbors were Punjabis whom I used to talk to a lot and I knew a lot of Punjabi insults but the insults given by Pakistani cricketers I did in life. I listened for the first time.
The former Indian opener said that during the tour of Pakistan in 2004, I had avenged these abuses by scoring a triple century.
Sehwag said that whenever I played a match against Pakistan, my blood started to flow automatically and that is why I always performed well against them and my average was good.
