Sachin, Lara Bond Over Golf in London

What happens when two cricketing greats of different countries bump into each other in a foreign country? Well, for starters they greet each other before going to discuss about their favourite game.

Something similar happened in London when Indian cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar met Brian Lara. However, this time they did not discuss cricket or so it seems from a tweet posted by none other than Tendulkar.

"Casually bumped into another key golfer today," posted Sachin on his timeline.

It's worth mentioning here that both the legendary cricket players love golf. The duo was honoured at the Sydney Cricket ground together. SCG even named a gate after the two cricketers to honour their contribution to the game. The gate was opened to mark Sachin's 50th birthday, which coincided with 30 years of Lara's innings at the SCG.

To put things in perspective, the West Indies cricketer scored a massive 277 at the ground in 1993, which happened to be his 5th Test match.

On the other hand, Sachin scored 157 in five tests he played at SCG.
