Virender Sehwag was the easiest to dismiss, Dravid most difficult: Former Pakistani bowler Naved-ul-Hasan

Virender Sehwag changed the way Test matches are played. He was one of the most devastating batters in the world to date and one of the best openers India has ever seen.

But according to former Pakistan pacer Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, the former Indian cricketer was the easiest to dismiss.

"Sehwag was the easiest to dismiss," Naved-ul-Hasan said on Nadir Ali's podcast.

Naved-ul-Hasan, who played against Sehwag during his international career, admitted that Sehwag's aggressive batting style made him susceptible to dismissals. However, Naved-ul-Hasan also acknowledged that Rahul Dravid was the most challenging batsman he bowled to.

Virender Sehwag had a successful international career spanning 14 years. In 104 Test matches, he amassed 8,586 runs at an average of 49.34, including two triple centuries. Shewag also played 251 ODIs, scoring 8,273 runs at an average of 35.05, that includes 15 centuries and 38 fifties. He had a brief stint in Twenty20 Internationals as well in which he made 394 runs in 19 matches.

Most notably, Sehwag was part of the Indian team that won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Since retiring from cricket, Sehwag has become a cricket pundit, offering his insights and opinions on the sport through various media channels.

Meanwhile, Naved also talked about a wide range of topics in the podcast. When asked about how rich the Pakistani board is in terms of finances, the right-arm fast-medium bowler said that though it is not as rich as the Indian board, it is quite rich compared to other cricket boards in the world.

Comparing Babar Azam and Virat Kohli, he said that the former is technically better than Indian star batsman.

On the upcoming cricket world cup, the former Pakistani cricketer said that the Indian team is quite strong when playing at home.

The ICC ODI men's world cup will begin on October 5, and conclude on November 19. It will be played in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Delhi, Dharamsala, Chennai, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Pune. The final will be played in Ahmedabad.

Pakistan's participation in the world cup is, though, subject to speculations. Recently, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said to the ICC and the BCCI that the national team's participation in the World Cup in October-November this year is subject to government clearance due to the tense relations between the two countries.
