In that bright and breezy innings, he should a glimpse of his vintage best when he played a lap shot of the bowling of New Zealand's former premier pacer Shane Bond. That shot which went for four was a trip down the memory lane as this particular shot would be played when Sachin was at the top of his game.

It was poetry in motion, the way the ball came on to the bat and the way it left the bat to race away to the boundary for four. The video evoked a sense of nostalgia amongst the fans, with many showering praise on the god of cricket.

One fan wrote, "He is playing similar shots he played vs Nz when he scored 160 in nz nd retired hurt. Please edit those shots in that match with this."
