Speaking on his Facebook Watch Show Virugiri Dot Com, Virender Sehwag admitted that India is a good team and can beat both New Zealand and England on any given day but what they need to learn from them is to play positive cricket as T20 is a format for brave players and players should express themselves.
"India doesn't need to learn anything from them. India is a good team and can beat both England and New Zealand on any day, but one thing they can definitely learn is to be positive and play positively because T20 format or white-ball cricket, it's the format of brave players and you have to take risks, you need to express yourself," Virender Sehwag said.
Sehwag admitted that India has managed well to do that in the past but they need to again repeat it. He suggested Indian players play brave cricket in the home series against New Zealand.
"India has managed to do that well in the past. Now again the time has come to repeat it. I would like to say that when New Zealand comes to India, play a brave and expressive brand of cricket and don't worry about the result because if you play bravely then the result will be in your favor," he said.
After the disappointing early exit from the T20 World Cup 2021, Team India will lock horns against New Zealand in the three-match T20I series, starting 17th November. After the conclusion of the T20I series, the two sides will face each other in the two-Test series.
