As Sachin walked calmly albeit a little disappointed off the pitch, his illustrious career of 24 years came to a possible end.All hopes for a century were destroyed when Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed at 74, but the crowd made sure that the sporting spirit was kept alive.The entire crowd at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai gave the Master Blaster a standing ovation with cheers of ‘Thank You Sachin’ reverberating in the air..Only a special effort could have stopped Sachin Tendulkar today. All the West Indies bowlers tried, but failed miserably. It was Darren Sammy’s brilliance in the field which stopped the Tendulkar show.After Tendulkar’s dismissal, it was a positive display of batting by the duo of Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli, who operated just under five runs an over. India are on 282 runs for the loss of three wickets against West Indies at lunch on Friday with Cheteshwar Pujara batting on 85 and the new man Virat Kohli on 36.
