Tears roll out as Sachin says bye to cricket

THANKS MOTHER: Next in the list was his mother Rajni, who came to watch Tendulkar for the first time in his farewell match besides the other immediate family members. "I don't know how she managed a naughty child like me. She just prayed and prayed from the day I started playing the game. Her prayers have given me the strength to go out and perform. For four years I stayed with my uncle and aunt when in school, they treated me like their own son and I am glad that it continues even today," he said.
