There is no other player like this player! There is no other feeling like hearing “Sachin Sachin” riveting across stands and stadiums when the master blaster walked out to bat or lifted his bat after ticking another record in the cricket books or creating a new one for the pages to record. When Tendulkar retired an entire stadium stood numb, cried silent tears and bid one final adieu to a man that helped reshape cricketing folklore in the dreams of many, starting with a country of billions. But even as Sachin left the cricketing field he left behind memories, innings to look back to, lessons to teach and guide the generations that followed and lots of powerful quotes, synonymous of his classic batting and yet thought-provoking and inspiring. Sachin Tendulkar Birthday Special: From 98 vs Pakistan to 241 vs Australia, Top Six Knocks by the Master Blaster That Redefined Cricket.
