The “Master Blaster,” Sachin Tendulkar, has retired from international cricket.
Tendulkar has a long, twenty-year career. After his 200th Test match against the West Indies at his home stadium in Mumbai, he declared his retirement from all forms of cricket. Tendulkar hit 74 runs during his most recent Test.
Spinner Narsingh Deonarine had him caught by Daren Sammy and sent him back to the pavilion.
Sammy was upset when he made the catch, and he didn’t even celebrate because it was Tendulkar’s final international cricket innings.
At the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Sachin Tendulkar gave his tearful farewell address to international cricket after the visiting West Indies squad was destroyed by an innings and 126 in three games.
Following the game, Tendulkar delivered a speech at the Wankhede that left cricket fans around the world a little teary-eyed.
Time has flown by swiftly, but I will always cherish the memories you left behind, especially the chorus of “Sachin Sachin,” which will echo in my ears till I pass out, as Tendulkar had stated.
Tendulkar was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame as the sixth Indian last year. The 46-year-old made his India debut in 1989 when he was 16 years old.
Tendulkar competed in his final World Cup when he was 37 years old. In the 2011 championship game, the Men in Blue defeated Sri Lanka at home by a margin of six wickets. He first included Tendulkar on the World Cup-winning squad.
He has appeared more frequently during IPL games than during Rajya Sabha meetings.
Although he is doing some things in the public interest, we saw him endorsing and promoting goods. When taking the oath to become a member of parliament, he pledged that he would do something to advance sports in the nation. He went out for a picnic with his family. He spends quality time with his relatives and friends.
