We played that World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar, everyone will look to win the World Cup for Virat Kohli now: Virender Sehwag.

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag at the schedule launch of ICC World Cup 2023 expressed his belief that the IWorld Cup 2023 trophy will be in the hands of former captain Virat Kohli on November 19th in Ahmedabad. Sehwag drew attention to the 2011 World Cup, where the team, led by MS Dhoni, was determined to win as a tribute to the iconic career of Sachin Tendulkar. He anticipates a similar sentiment among the players in the upcoming edition, as they aim to honor Kohli in the same manner.

Sehwag emphasized that Kohli deserves a remarkable conclusion to his career, and winning the World Cup would serve as the perfect culmination of his illustrious journey. The former cricketer expressed confidence in Kohli’s ability to perform under pressure and expects him to rise to the occasion if India qualifies for the final of the tournament.

Sehwag 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,.” 

He added “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,”
