"Having Vinod on the cricket field with me will definitely bring back some very special memories," he added. Meanwhile, Kambli felt honoured to collaborate with Tendulkar again after a long time. "I immediately said yes when Sachin discussed the idea of coaching together. It's a great opportunity to go back to the maidans with him and re-live our days there. I hope to teach the kids when Achrekar sir taught us when we were their age. I thank Sachin for showing faith in me," Kambli told the "Mumbai Mirror".
