Sachin should retire

With reference to the news report 'Mumbaikars feel Tendulkar is still the ‘Master Blaster’ (February 29), though the career graph of Sachin Tendulkar has been quite impressive, his recent performances clearly show that, age is catching up with him. He should emulate Sunil Gavaskar, who retired from international cricket when he was in his best form, rather than Kapil Dev, whose retirement was a bit long drawn, as he somewhat struggled to overhaul Sir Richard Hadlee’s highest Test wicket record. It is better to retire when people question “Why” instead of “When”.
