Who can forget the glorious days of the early 2000s? What a treat it was to follow the Indian cricket team. The batting lineup was star-studded, comprising Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammed Kaif. And the bowling was not too far behind. Ajit Agarkar, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Anil Kumble and Ashish Nehra made the most of their ability, giving way too many memorable wins in the process. The Natwest final against England in 2002 comes to mind. Not to forget, the Indian team, against all odds, reached the 2003 World Cup final as well, only to fall short at the final hurdle against the mighty Australia.

Whenever highlights of old matches are telecast on TV, one watches them instantly, as there are too many fond memories associated with them. Hence, it is no surprise that a picture is now going viral on social media, featuring some of the swashbuckling stars of the Indian team from the early 2000s.
