#OnTheUp: Messi's latest achievement – Rahul Dravid is a fan

Lovely pictures, all of them. Including that one with MS Dhoni smiling ear to ear. In fact, Thala seems to be growing younger day by day.

In the race to do a Benjamin Button, Chris Gayle wasn't one to be left behind, even when featuring alongside 'baby' Sam Curran.
James Anderson had a throwback too, but this one didn't amuse Stuart Broad too much.

Elsewhere, the Zimbabwe players banded together in a beautiful gesture for relief efforts post Cyclone Idai.
