He bunked the West Indies tour after World cup, to score 100th hundered in England. HE could have easily done it there but was too preoccupied with it and he got more burdened mentally. HE should have gone to West Indies then. HE would have added another 5 hundereds by now.
Tendulkar should have retired long back. But what kept him going were the Big Sponsors although he might say it is for the love of the game. The team that would benefit the most would be the Mumbai Indians, a liability from their team has disappeared.
Without Tendulkar luggage, Indian team will be fitter and better. why so much fuss for a person who plays only for himself. He has played and become rich. Let us worry about our business
He was perfect man in the team. Tendulkar exploits have inspired millions of people in India. Tendulkar impact was so huge that his batting inspired cricket fans to do well in their own profession. No doubt in contemporary cricket no batsman can be close to tendulkar in terms of winning matches and scoring runs.
Ideally he should have retired after world cup. Last 2 years have been painful. His form was bad he could not play basic shots getting bowled. Also even now I am sure BCCI and Sandeep Patil must have forced Tendulkar to retire during back door talks. If he had retired after world cup he could have been everyone's hero in India
Still Tendulkar all over the years provided greatest joys in people's lives. He was one man show for many years. I was your greatest fan and mad for you. For two things you lowered your reputation and respect amongst people. Playing in IPL running for money and delaying your retirement for money keeping one own above country for no reason , else you were treat to watch best in world with class
