India's XI on Yuvraj Singh's ODI debut: Where are they now?

Sachin Tendulkar

As was the case in several matches, Sachin Tendulkar was Ganguly’s opening partner, but couldn’t support the captain in the middle for long, departing after a sedate 25.

Having already played more than a decade of international cricket, Sachin continued to play for India till 2013, retiring at his home ground, the Wankhede, where he played his last Test innings against the West Indies and scored 76.

Post his retirement, Sachin hasn’t been as actively involved with mainstream cricket as some of his peers. He was sworn in as member of the Rajya Sabha in 2012, and was also roped in as India’s brand ambassador for the Rio Olympics 2016.

Retirement seems to have taken very little sheen off his image, as he continues to endorse a number of products and is still a strong brand icon. Like Ganguly, he is also the owner of one of the ISL sides, the Kerala Blasters.

Despite being away from the game, he has made sporadic appearances with the bat, having turned up for the MCC vs Rest of the World match in 2014, and was instrumental in materialising the All Stars tournament in association with Shane Warne last year. He captained one of the two sides.
