Live Reporting of farewell to Sachin Tendulkar at Wankhede Stadium

Mumbai: The legendary Sachin Tendulkar got a memorable gift in his emotionally-charged farewell Test which lasted just about two and a half days as India crushed a hapless West Indies by an innings and 126


He pitched a googly right, bowled a few loopy half volleys which were cheered by one and all.



He didn't have much luck like the first Test but it didn't matter as Dhoni replaced Tendulkar with his frontline spinner Ashwin, who got the ninth wicket of the West Indies innings.

Moment after the final West Indies wicket fell, the Indian cricketers converged around the 'Man of the Moment' and handed him a souvenir stump as they came one by one to hug him.

After that a relay 'Guard of Honour' was given by Dhoni and his men as Tendulkar walked out of the pitch one final time trying hard to conceal his emotions under the floppy sun hat.
    
But one could see him wipe a tear off as the West Indies players came down to congratulate the legend on a wonderful career. Arjun Tendulkar, who was doing the duty of a ball-boy, stood applauding at the boundary line.
