Bharat Ratna Atal Behari Vajpayee who expired yesterday evening was a cricket fan. He was instrumental in the Indian team going to Pakistan and playing a series. Ganguly was the captain of the team and Sachin also played this series.
During this match, Vajpayee presented a bat to the team and he has written not only cricket you must win the hearts also. Meaning that our friendship with Pakistan should grow and there should be no animosity.
In this series, Sehwag made a triple century and we won the match. That was the history. Vajpayee believed in friendship and never hated people. He talked to leaders of all the political parties. He talked to them even people avoided him. Whoever they may be. This was mentioned by Ghulam Nabi Azad the Congress leader yesterday.
Encouraging and praising other if they are right and good was his general nature. In the same way, he took pot shots at other with his poetry which as simple and that a common man could also understand. He liked the place Manila and use to go there whenever he had some time.
