Sachin Tendulkar retires from ODI cricket

One of the greatest batsmen of cricketing history retires today at the age of 39 years and 243 days from ODI cricket. I exactly do not find any adjective to describe his contribution to the Indian cricket. No any batting records are there to break by the cricketing legend and all time best batsman Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. The cricketing legend stated his ODI career in 1989 December 18 playing with Pakistan at Gujranwala, he faced just two ball and become the victim of Waqar Younis, that time around nobody may have thought he will be the man to break all batting record and score 18426 ODI run, playing 463 matches, at a average of 44.83 and rule the batting world for 20 year continuously.  He finishes his career playing last game also against Pakistan at Dhaka in March.
