Ever shy of the limelight - this is a man who drives his beloved sports cars around Mumbai in the dead of night so he won't be recognised - and eternally a little old-fashioned (wearing ancient buckle-up pads well into the 21st century) it was apposite that Sachin Tendulkar announced his retirement from Test cricket by letter.

"To watch Tendulkar bat during in a Test in India was to hear a nation draw - and hold - its breath."


THE NEXT 2 TEST MATCHES---INDIA VS WI---WILL BE HISTORIC---THEY WILL BE THE MOST WATCHED TESTS IN HISTORY.
