"Few, if any, sportsmen have been so loved through their career, even by their opponents, as Tendulkar was. It usually happens in retirement, or close to it, with the mellow glow of insight, when the threat of defeat is over. In Tendulkar's case it happened in the heat of battle, through white-line fever, even as he was carving apart the opposing attack. "
"Never a commentator nor a coach, he's faded somewhat from the limelight (so much so that Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul picked Kohli over Tendulkar on that show.) New gods have taken his place, performing amazing new feats, setting new records. But here's what I really miss about Sachin Tendulkar: not once in all those years did he ask me, and other non-fans, to leave the country."
