Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar

This might have been just another league game against the 'minnows', but for Sachin Tendulkar, this was different, since he had just returned from his father's funeral in Mumbai and proceeded to put together a record partnership with the in-form Rahul Dravid.

However, his personal grief had no effect on his batting as he joined Dravid at the fall of the second wicket and the two put together a superb 237 run unbeaten partnership in 29.1 overs to take India's total to 329 for 2.

Dravid made 104 (109 balls, 10 fours) while Tendulkar made 140 (101 balls, 16 fours, 3 sixes) as the duo batted Kenya out of the game in the first innings itself.
