Master Blaster Retires From ODI, Suprises Many

Yuvraj Singh, who returned after fighting cancer and has called  Sachin his hero, wrote, “It is an emotional time! Letting Sachin go from one dayers! 18 thousand plus runs. Your jaw drops when you see those records, master you will always live in my heart and fellow Indians! The pride of our country, I salute to you for your contribution to Indian cricket,” as reported by IANS.

Chairman of selectors Dilip Vengsarkar, another former skipper said, “Actually I am surprised. If he is continuing with international cricket (Test) then he should have continued with ODI also. We play almost 25 ODIs in a season. It is very important to keep playing international cricket.” Vengsarkar further said, “I am surprised he opted out of ODIs. As long as he is playing international cricket, he should have continued playing in ODIs,” as per PTI.

Kirti Azad, the former Indian cricketer spoke about how Tendulker has ‘obliged’ Indian cricket by deciding to retire. He said, “I think he has obliged Indian cricket by retiring. The God has ultimately decided. Everybody is talking that he should retire. I suppose if I am playing cricket whether I am playing good or bad, the call has to be taken by the selectors,” as reported by PTI.
