The cricketing world said goodbye to a legend yesterday.
Actually, it was the legend who said goodbye to the world of cricket.
Sachin Tendulkar, who set the sport on fire with his stroke play, called it a day on a winning note in his 200th and final Test. His India humbled the West Indies within three days, defeating the boys in maroon by an innings and 126 runs in his hometown Mumbai to sweep the series 2-0.
Thousands of ecstatic fans screamed as a teary-eyed Tendulkar walked off the Wankhede Stadium outfield for a final time, with his teammates applauding him back to the pavilion.
