Anil Kumble, the former Indian leg-spinner took to Twitter recently to share an old picture of the Indian Cricket Team when they were on away tour to New Zealand in 2002-2003.

Apart from the big five; Sachin, Dravid, Laxman, Sehwag and Ganguly; the photo features erstwhile youngsters Yuvraj, Harbhajan and Parthiv. The former two engaged in some endearing banter which led to Parthiv being referred to as "chuzza" by Bhajji.

Parthiv took it in his stride and replied to Harbhajan's tweet.

Yuvi joined the conversation in an attempt to troll Parthiv yet again, but did not quite succeed.

Parthiv Patel, small in stature, but mighty in wit, did manage to troll Yuvi by calling him "chachaji."

The photo clicked at the Huka Falls in Taupo, New Zealand also features other players like Virender Sehwag, Kaif, Dinesh Mongia, Ashish Nehra, Ajit Agarkar. India's head coach for the Zimbabwe tour, Sanjay Bangar was also a part of the Indian squad at that point.

All thanks to Anil Kumble, this blast from the past brought forth endearing memories not only for the players but also cricket fans across the nation, providing them a sneak peek into the dynamics of the cricketers when they took a jibe at each other on Twitter.

In case you forgot, India did not have a good run on that tour against the Kiwis, they lost the two-match Test series 2-1 and ODI series 5-2. However, they came back stronger later that year to defeat New Zealand in the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup in South Africa.
