Sachin Tendulkar Returning to
pavilion on 15 November 2014

Everything has an end. It is too hard to digest that God of cricket Sachin Tendulkar will never be seen with Indian cap on the field. Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar will retire from International cricket after the Wankhede Test against West Indies. The match will start on 14 November and the closing date of the match is 18 November 2013. Sachin Tendulkar started his first class cricket from the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai and he will bid good bye to cricket as a player from the same ground. Wankhede Test will be 200 test match of Sachin Tendulkar. It will be very hard for all cricket loving people that Sachin will be an ex-player from 19 November 2013 but this is the reality.
