The Indian stalwarts, Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh reached Australia on Friday to participate in the charity match organized by Cricket Australia (CA) to support the victims who have been affected by the bushfires.

In the post, Tendulkar felt some nostalgia and revealed his favorite spot in the SCG dressing room. Captioning the picture on Instagram, Sachin wrote: “This was my favourite corner in the SCG dressing room. Memories came flooding back today. @yuvisofficial”.

Soon fans started posting some heartwarming messages on the post for the former India batsman. Tendulkar will be participating in the Sunday’s Bushfire Cricket Bash charity game where he will play the role of the coach for the Ricky Ponting XI while Yuvraj Singh will return to the field as part of Adam Gilchrist’s team.
