Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell Test may be the most teary-eyed in cricket history
A group of rickshaw-pullers had parked their rickshaws outside a park, and they were playing cricket. There were a couple of new cricket bats and some rubber balls.

It’s not a phase, but a never-ending chapter in his life, says H Natarajan who has followed Kambli’s career from his schooldays and interacted closely with many people close to him.
