New Delhi, Oct 8 (IBNS): Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag called ex-Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi as the 'Sachin Tendulkar' of the neighbouring nation.

He also mentioned the importance of India-Pakistan series and said: "Every Indian and Pakistani want to see an India-Pakistan series. We as cricketers too want to watch it. Hopefully the governments of both countries will talk and resume the series. I have many lovely memories like my triple century in the Multan Test match double century in Lahore Test and my century in Kochi ODI match.”
Sehwag has played several memorable innings against Pakistan in his career.
