When The Nation Cried With Sachin Tendulkar

Believe it or not, Sachin Tendulkar has left the field. The moment has been recorded in the history of International Cricket. Ever since he announced his retirement, a silent lull spread across the nation and was broken only by sobs, and some more sobs. Having grown up watching Sachin Tendulkar ruling the cricket field, it was an immensely sorrowful moment for the youth to see him retire.

His farewell speech proved that he is not only the best cricketer in the world, but an even better human being. The humbleness with which this man spoke was simply tear-jerking. We're proud to have witnessed the miracle called Sachin Tendulkar set the cricket pitch ablaze every time he stepped on it. Watch the video below to hear his farewell speech. Try stopping those tears from flowing.

There can be nobody like Him, ever! But all good things come to an end, they say. Sachin may have ended his cricketing career, but he's irreplaceable on the cricket pitch. We salute you, Sachin Tendulkar, for having touched our lives so deeply.
