BEIJING Black Rashaad Penny Jersey , Nov. 18 (Xinhuanet) -- A sport that will never quite be the same, after one of it’s most legendary players has finally called it a day. Sachin Tendulkar, played his last professional game on Saturday, the Little Master, struggling to hold back the tears as he was given a send off to remember. Our India correspondent Shweda Bajaj, sent this report from New Delhi.
The stadium reached a crescendo as Sachin Tendulkar walked in to play his last test match ever.
This is one man that can get entire India together – this is one man that only increased the cricket madness in an already cricket crazy nation, this is one man that India prays for together. As Sachin Tendulkar played his last match for international cricket, it was a historic moment in India.
Sachin Tendulkar started his career at the age of 16 and made his first century in 1990 at the age of 17. The love from him in India comes not just because of his status as a cricketer but also because of his humility.
"What can I say to him, he is the God of cricket, I just want to thank him and bow down to him."
"He has been running for us for the last 25 years and still he doesn’t look tired. Cricket is in his blood."
There are many firsts that Sachin Tendulkar gave India and that’s why he is called a living legend.
Sachin has had most runs in a career, 15921 in test matches and 18,426 in One-day internationals. The little master has also had most hundreds by one player. He scored 51 centuries in test matches and 49 in One-day internationals.
The devotion in his fans is unparalleled and unseen. Perhaps his biggest achievement is the impact he had in inspiring young Indians to take up the game.
Saurabh Chaudhri is 19 years old and comes from a modest background. He says he wants to be ike Sachin and for the same spends hours practicing.
"It's a sad day. Sachin is such an icon for us and he is leaving us. We are very sad today." Saurabh Chaudhri said.
In India, Sachin Tendulkar’s last test match is not just a match, it’s an outpour of emotions.
Watching Sachin Tendulkar play for the very last time wasn’t just a historical moment for India but also an emotional one. For the cricket crazy nation watching cricket will never be the same again.
From his early years in cricket where he was called a chocolate boy to an icon, Sachin Tendulkars journey has been momentous. Also called GOD in India, he converted the game of cricket to a religion. As he bids adieu to cricket and millions of fans, it’s the end of an era in international cricket.
