Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar Fascinating 2011 WC Chat with Sehwag
Former opener of Indian cricket team Virender Sehwag revealed a conversation that he shared with iconic batsman Sachin Tendulkar after the 'Master Blaster' failed to smash a century against Pakistan in the semi-final of the 2011 World Cup. Sachin opened with Sehwag and played a magnificent knock of 85 before being dismissed by right-arm off-break spinner Saeed Ajmal. Sehwag, who was sitting in the dugout, smiled at Sachin after he returned, and Sachin passed a smile to him as well.
Sehwag went on to talk about the conversation they had after this in a press conference and said, "Sachin told me I know why you are smiling; I asked why. He said you are thinking that I got out before making a century; if I scored the ton, we would have lost. I said to him, How can you read what is in my heart? You made two centuries, one we lost and the second got tied. Thank God he didn't make a hundred, and we were able to win the World Cup."
India will be eager to replicate the triumph of the 2011 World Cup, with the mega tournament once again being held in India.
