Yesterday’s CLT20 match at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium would go down in history as one of the most memorable matches, for it saw two of India cricketing greatest legends — Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar come together for one final time.

Scores of fans flocked the stadium to see Indian cricket's two biggest names in action in the big finale of Champions League T20 final between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals.

"One final time is nice," said Dravid. "It's funny that we have played against each other more in coloured clothing.

"You must remember Sachin is seven years senior to me as a player. I'm okay giving away my jersey number, Dinesh Karthik is wearing mine, I think. It's been a roller-coaster ride with the Royals. I couldn't have asked for anything more. It's been a great journey."

This was Tendulkar’s last T20 match.

"For RR skipper Rahul Dravid, though, the final against Mumbai Indians was his last competitive game, and the crowd roared its approval as Dravid walked out to a guard of honour from his Royals teammates," reported TOI

Fittingly, Tendulkar took this opportunity to laud Dravid's dependability and ability, saying, "I think I captained Rahul for the first time in whites, a Wills Trophy match in 1993 or 1994. He loved challenges, I knew we could bank on Rahul."
