Sachin announces retirement
There was an outpouring of emotions across the country for well over a month after Tendulkar had announced his retirement in October. A two-Test series against West Indies was hastily organized and Tendulkar bowed out in front of his home-fans in Mumbai.
West Indies were all out for 182 batting first and India posted 495 in response, thus making the possibility of an Indian second innings bleak. The crowd knew that which may be the reason why Tendulkar's dismissal was met with a shocked silence that lasted a couple of seconds before applause rang around the stands.
