Why Vinod Kambli Reckons February 24 as One of Finest Days in Indian Cricket History?

Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli has said that February 24 must be listed as one of the best days in cricket history.

On February 24, 1988, Kambli and his “favourite cricketer” Sachin Tendulkar had stitched a 664-run partnership in the Harris Shield Trophy.

Interestingly, on February 24, 2010, Sachin Tendulkar became the first cricketer to score a double century in ODIs against South Africa at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium, Gwalior.

He played an unbeaten knock of 200 off just 147 balls with the help of 25 fours and 3 sixes.

Kambli recalled both the moments and shared a special message for Tendulkar on Thursday.

“Nostalgic!! 34 years to this day, me and Sachin Tendulkar had a record partnership of 664 runs in the Harris Shield Trophy, and coincidentally Sachin became the first player to score 200 in an ODI in 2010 on this very day. Surely, 24th Feb must be etched in cricketing history as one of the best days for Cricket. Friends forever..my favorite cricketer and person, Sachin Tendulkar,” Kambli wrote on Koo.
