Your comments are good and worth a thoughjt except the first one. Tendulkar has played for 17 years and won us many matches at times single handedly. For one example Pakistan toured India. After losing 6 wickets Tendunlar inspite of his injury scored a century to take us 12 runs short of victory in a losing match. Once he got out with 3 wicket and 12 runs to chase in a test match with 1 day remaining India lose. No teams can win world cup or tours alone ...... it requires committed effort of thw whole teams. No one can stick for 17 years in cricket and boast to have a record like Tendulkar (and thats not only against Bangladesh mind you), ask any world class bowler of his times and all rates Tendular in top three batsmen of the world. All these stats are not fluke to achieve in 17 years period. And tell me if he invest his achievements in restaurants, 200 crore contract whats wrong in it. After he retires without a degree and no experience will you give him a job ???. And what wrong to be a businessman off-field if you are commited sportperson on field. Though i will admit in a year or two whether India needs him or not he should retire gracefully. Cos he is in his that phase where his one century will be applauaded with critisim and his one duck will be healines for media for long time. ALL THE BEST TENDIA !!! cos u need it with INDIAN CRICKET FANS.
