“Hi Nass...when was this picture taken...losing memory with old age...need my mates help,” Ganguly, while tagging Hussain, tweeted, sharing an image from the customary photo-op of that memorable 2002 series. The former England skipper replied with a GIF where a cartoon character is seen hiding his face in the bushes.

To this, the current BCCI president responded with a GIF of a child along with a caption: “Young Nass, already thinking about captaincy.” Mohammad Kaif, who played a crucial role in India’s historic win at the NatWest Trophy final at Lord’s, also jumped in and tweeted: “Hi Nasser Hussain. I think you called someone a ‘bus driver’. And in the end, we all saw Dada’s 8-pack abs at the Lord’s balcony.”

On July 13, 2002, Ganguly and his young team won the NatWest Trophy final, chasing down a steep target of 326 with three balls to spare. Kaif and Yuvraj Singh helped India script one of the most memorable wins. Following the victory, Ganguly had waived his T-shirt at the Lord’s balcony -- an image which is still fresh in the minds of all the cricket lovers.
