#3 Pondulkar: Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting opening together
Although IPL has always been seen as a wonderful platform for youngsters to showcase their talent, it also provides a chance for the fans all over the world to witness their favorite stars play after they retire from international cricket.
Many legends like Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, Anil Kumble, Sourav Ganguly, and Muttiah Muralitharan played IPL for years after their retirement. Talking about legends, if there are two batsmen who dominated world cricket in the early 2000s, then it has to be Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting. In fact, no one scored more international runs than these two since their debut to the start of the IPL.
Having guided their national teams for so long, both announced retirement in by 2013. But it was the same year that Mumbai bought Ponting in IPL auction to captain their side. The fans were delighted to see both legends opening the batting together. The memory of these two legends with most international centuries batting together will be etched in every cricket fan heart.
