Sachin Tendulkar shared a heartwarming post with former India teammates Yuvraj Singh and Anil Kumble on Friday, March 3.

Taking to Instagram, the cricket legend wrote:

“Our Dil Chahta Hai moment in Goa! Who do you think is Akash, Sameer and Sid?”

For the uninitiated, actors Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Akshaye Khanna played the roles of Akash, Sameer, and Sid, respectively, in the 2001 Bollywood blockbuster ‘Dil Chahta Hai.’

Tendulkar, Kumble and Yuvraj have contributed immensely to Indian cricket. 2011 World Cup champion Tendulkar has represented India in 664 games, scoring 34357 runs, including 100 centuries. Twice World Cup winner Yuvraj has amassed 11778 runs in 404 games. The duo have also scalped 201 and 148 wickets, respectively.

Meanwhile, former India Test captain Kumble has taken 956 wickets in 403 games. With 619 scalps, he is also the leading wicket-taker in Tests for India.
