The reunion brought back memories of their legendary partnership in a Harris Shield match, where they scored a staggering 664 runs together for their school, Shardashram Vidyamandir, against St Xavier’s.
Kambli scored 349 runs, while Tendulkar amassed 326 runs, both remaining not out, cementing their status as prodigies at a young age.

He holds the record for the most runs scored in both formats and is the only player in cricket history to score 100 international centuries, solidifying his reputation as one of the greatest players of all time.
Kambli, on the other hand, had a relatively shorter international career, playing 17 Tests and 104 ODIs for India.
He scored 1084 runs in Tests, including four centuries (two of which were double centuries), at an impressive average of 54.20. In ODIs, he amassed 2477 runs at an average of 32.29, with two centuries to his name.
