When India and Pakistan play a match, it is nothing less than a war: Sehwag

Speaking on the Day 2 of Goafest 2019, Sehwag was asked if India should play Pakistan in the World Cup, he said, “There are two things which are discussed, whether we should have a war with Pakistan or not and whether we should play Pakistan in the upcoming world cup or not.”

“We should do whatever is good for the nations prospect. When India and Pakistan play a match, it is nothing less than a war. We should win it and not lose it.” added Sehwag. When asked questions about the ongoing Lok Sabha polls, Sehwag replied that “I feel a leader should have the courage to take decisions, quick decisions in the interest of the country, in the interest of the Army and the interest of the police.”

He also said that if people started voting for leaders and not on the basis of party lines, then “half the leaders” would not get elected.”The leaders get elected because people vote for the party. The person who can take decisions should get elected, irrespective of which party he is from,” he claimed.

Ending the session on a humorous note, when asked if he intended to join politics, Sehwag replied, “I have always worked on contract. Right from Ranji to IPL to doing commentary, whichever party gives me a good contract, I will join.”
