It was a meeting of legendary proportions when spin maestro Anil Kumble met Sri Lankan batting great Aravinda de Silva.
'Always nice to catch up with this legend. Had some great moments trying to outwit him on the cricket field. Aravinda de Silva, what a player!' Kumble posted a picture on his X handle.
The two faced off against each other often in the 1990s and early 2000s. Kumble was always a difficult bowler to pick but de Silva played Kumble with ease.
For Gen Xers, De Silva played over 300 ODIs for Sri Lanka and was instrumental in the island nation's ODI World Cup triumph in 1996. He was named man of the match for his 107 in the final against Australia.
