'Haan bhai gill jitwayega iss baar uske liye' - Fans react to Former India opener's statement to win WC for Virat Kohli

Virender Sehwag, a former Indian opener and World Cup winner, stated on Tuesday that on November 19, the entire nation will be watching Virat Kohli raise the prized cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The illustrious batsman remembered how, under MS Dhoni, he, as well as his teammates, gave it their utmost to ensure that Sachin Tendulkar got a proper send-off.

Virat Kohli deserves to conclude his career on a high note, and lifting the World Cup will be the pinnacle of the star batter's illustrious career, according to Virender Sehwag, who was speaking following the Cricket World Cup 2023 schedule was revealed in Mumbai.

The Indian squad was under enormous pressure in 2011 as fans expressed their aspirations wherever they went. The memories of their World Cup departure in 2007 still hung over their heads, but MS Dhoni as well as his team handled their anxieties brilliantly to win the tournament.

The squad paid a touching tribute to Sachin Tendulkar, who eventually fulfilled his ambition of holding the trophy, as MS Dhoni raised it at the Wankhede Stadium. Throughout the victory procession at the renowned location, youngsters from that side, especially Virat Kohli as well as Yusuf Pathan, carried Sachin Tendulkar onto their shoulders.

Virat knows how the pitches will behave: Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag spoke to Star Sports and discussed how they played the 2007 WC for Sachin and how the Indian team should play for Virat Kohli. He said, "We played that World Cup for Tendulkar. If we won the World Cup, it would have been a great exit for Sachin paaji. Virat Kohli is the same now. Everybody will look to win the World Cup for him. He always gives more than 100 percent."

The former India opener then spoke about the mentality and ability of Virat Kohli in India. He said, "I think Virat Kohli is also looking to this World Cup. 100,000 people will watch you at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Virat knows how the pitches will behave. I am sure he will score a lot of runs and he will do his best to win the World Cup for India."

But Sachin was a better player than Virat

Sehwag is so real for this.

But let's not forget he's already won a world cup though 🙏

He's not world cup deprived like Sachin or Messi or Ronaldo.

The same way Sehwag should respect other professional players and stop trolling players who have a bigger legacy than him in the game. Indian players know what they have to do and Kohli as well.

Before 2011 World Cup Sachin didn't win any world cup as a player so the whole team want to win the world cup for Sachin but Kohli as a player he won the 2011 world cup so this time team should play for country and people of our nation

abey everyone needs to win this world cup for those ICT fans who are going day in day out to see their team win a ICC trophy.
