India, Oct. 26 -- For the slightly older set of cricket fans, Saturday revived a lot of good memories watching their favourite cricketers - Rohit Sharma (67 Tests, 276 ODIs, 159 T20Is) Virat Kohli (123 Tests, 305 ODIs, 125 T20Is) shining in the Sydney ODI, and their long-time teammate Ajinkya Rahane (85 Tests, 90 ODIs, 20 T20Is) scoring a fighting Ranji Trophy to bail out Mumbai against Chhattisgarh.

The three batters formed the backbone of India's batting for most part of the last decade, along with the now retired Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara. Rohit, 38, Kohli, 36, and Rahane, 37, are all nearing the end of their distinguished careers, but their batting displays was proof they still have some cricket left in them.
