Kolkata: Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble have turned out memorable performances at the Eden Gardens. On Friday, to mark the historic day-night Test here, the four were drawn into a chat during the lunch break. It was full of anecdotes about their association with the ground and with each other. The roar from the terraces every now and then spoke of how popular they are at this ground, and how well the Kolkata fans remember them.

"We have not had a chance to sit like this since our playing days. It is a special day and there could not have been a better venue for this historic game," Kumble was quoted as saying by PTI.
