Former India mental conditioning coach Paddy Upton sent Indian cricket fans into nostalgia by sharing an unseen video of Sachin Tendulkar giving bouncer practice to VVS Laxman before a Test match against England at Chennai back in December 2008. In the video, Sachin can be seen bowling bouncers to Laxman inside the Team India dressing room in Chennai. “When I joined the team Anil Kumble was the captain of the Test team and MS Dhoni was the captain of the ODI team. So we said to the team ‘is it important to be on time for the practice and team meetings?’ Everyone said yes it is. “In the test team, Anil Kumble said that the consequence would be a ten thousand rupees (10,000) fine which the person who was late would have to pay.
