Journalist and cricket analyst Harsha Bhogle wrote to Sachin Tendulkar with the following message. I was told by someone that he didn’t want you to leave because doing so would indicate that his childhood was finished. It’s not just them. When they saw you in blue, many crusty old men also turned into children, just like the child in you never grew up. You had a wonderful habit, Sachin.
