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

“Everyone in our team had talked about Afridi before my first series against Pakistan. As a player he was like our Tendulkar in the Pakistan team and we all discussed about him," Sehwag was quoted as saying by Gulf News.

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.

Recently, India and Pakistan faced twice in the Asia Cup tournament.

India defeated their neighbours in both the clashes.

India went on to beat Bangladesh in the final to win the Asia Cup title.
