Zaheer Khan, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag in action during Road safety World Series.

Every time we think that our childhood is over, the former cricketers give us a chance to re-live our memories. The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, once again went nostalgic when Sachin Tendulkar’s side took on Brian Lara’s team in the opener of Road Safety World Series.

Tendulkar opted to bowl first and we had Shivnarine Chanderpaul out in the middle with his same old stance, probably the most distinguished one that the players at that time had. The left-hander’s stance wasn’t the only thing that was persisting but his batting ability too hadn’t faded away.

Chanderpaul struck a 41-ball 61 helping his side score 150/6 in 20 overs.

While the West Indian showed his class, once India’s pace spearhead Zaheer Khan too unfolded some form with the ball. The left-hander’s fiery yorker sent Ridley Jacobs packing while he grabbed attention after taking a stunner in the field to dismiss Ricardo Powell.

Now did you remember how the World Cup 2011 started? Of course. Virender Sehwag just smashed a delivery through the cover to announce his arrival. The aggressive opener repeated the feat and smacked a boundary of the very first delivery from Pedro Collins.

They eventually won the match by 7 wickets.
