The evolution of Sachin Tendulkar: in pictures

In November 2013, Tendulkar retired from the game after playing his last Test against the West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. An emotional Tendulkar game to the ground to touch the pitch and bid adieu to his home crowd for the last time in his career.

In November 2014, Tendulkar releashed his autobiography titled Playing it My Way. The book made its way into the 2016 Limca Book of Records for breaking the record for adult hardback pre-publication orders, with 1,50,289 copies confirmed.
