The cricketing fraternity of the world bid an emotional farewell to Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday after India won the last Test match at Wankhede Stadium against West Indies.

Tendulkar recieved a guard of honour as he walked back to the dressing room, tears rolling down his eyes.

Fans, celebrities and cricketers from all round the world paid tribute the Master Blaster on Twitter.

Someone may need to remind him at home. Tendulkar may instinctively get ready to go to the cricket ground when he wakes up tomorrow…

Cricket greatness aside the one thing i surely will remember @sachin_rt is his humility, lack of arrogance & grounded self, true hero!

Sachin Tendulkar scored 100 centuries in international cricket. That alone makes him one of the immortals of the game. @sachin_rt #Master

“India has set a benchmark of how to treat a hero”: great quote from Darren Sammy #Tendulkar

If Tendulkar had *any* tears welling inside him, this presentation ceremony, with all the attention grabbers, has so far killed it.
