    "editor1": "<p>Former India opener Virender Sehwag recalled his ODI debut against Pakistan in Mohali in 1999 when he received incessant abuses from the opposition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sehwag had walked into bat at No. 7 and was dismissed for just one by speedster Shoaib Akhtar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I was around 20-21 years old then. When I went in to bat, the players like Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Yousuf, and all other Pakistan team members, welcomed me by abusing a lot. I even didn&#39;t know some of the bad words they used,&quot; recalled Sehwag to RJ Raunak on his Youtube channel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I couldn&#39;t say much in response then as it was my first game and was nervous as well. Close to 20-25k people had come to watch the game,&quot; Sehwag added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 42-year-old, who commentates nowadays, said that due to the reception he gets, he still gets goosebumps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-series\/india-tour-of-england-2021\">India tour of England, 2021 <\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But later once I got settled in the team, then I responded to all the abuses with triple century when we toured Pakistan in 2003-04 and took a kind of a revenge. For the same reason I think whenever India plays Pakistan, I still get goosebumps,&quot; Sehwag added.<\/p>\r\n",
