hi reema, good suggestions. i belive that u are referring to the retirement of the above said players from the ipl, cause kumble,ganguly have already retired from international cricket. as far as tendulkar is concern, then pls go through the figures prior to his ipl matches. he may not be a better option for 20/20, but when it comes to internation onedays and test, he is still the best. and strangely, ur comment on tendulkar has come after his failure in 3 matches, not after the initial matches where he scored good runs. god bless
