These two guys were the best two batsmen I played with and against as well as the best of my generation (1989-2013) @sachintendulkar and @brianlaraofficial! Did you like seeing the three of us play and fight on the field? “The caption reads.

I loved all the battles I experienced when at the crease but coming up against you @shanewarne23 was like playing at the #flavian everybody waited anxiously with bated breath not for the outcome but for every delivery and that guy next to us @sachintendulkar just check how good he was I’m currently in Mumbai as well as I go to the sports channel in search of one of his excellent innings he played over the years.
