GOD Bye…!!!

Electronics market is an unlovely complex of electronics stores which sprawls over half a square mile of Mumbai. Crowds bustle between stacks of computer equipment among its chipped, stained concrete arcades.

But when the news that India had long expected – and long feared – finally broke, Nehru Place stopped dead. Sachin Tendulkar, the best known cricketer in India and arguably the most idolised sportsman in the world, had announced his retirement from cricket.

“No one could breathe,” said Amit Lal, an electronics dealer. “He will be very much missed in India. He is our super master blaster. Nobody is playing like him.”

Across the country similar scenes played out. One moment, TV bulletins were running “breaking news” alerts about a cyclone approaching the eastern coast and a live feed of a speech by the scion of India’s best-known political dynasty, Rahul Gandhi. The next, both had disappeared. Millions watched the text of the diminutive Tendulkar’s announcement streaming across TV screens.

“All my life, I have had a dream of playing cricket for India,” it read. “I have been living this dream every day for the last 24 years. It’s hard for me to imagine a life without playing cricket because it’s all I have ever done since I was 11 years old. I look forward to playing my 200th Test match on home soil, as I call it a day.”

Few doubt Tendulkar, 40, is one of the greatest cricketers of all time. At the age of 15 the novelist’s son notched up 326 in an unbroken 664 run partnership, the highest recorded in the sport, with a friend. At 16 he became the youngest Indian to make his Test debut, against Pakistan.

A year later, he hit his first Test century. The “Little Master” became the most prolific batsman in international cricket history. But his extraordinary talent only partly explains his extraordinary stature in his homeland where he is revered with almost religious intensity.

“Back in 1989, we were nowhere really as a power in terms of the sport, or financially. But as Sachin has grown, Indian cricket has grown and the two have become fused in people’s minds. You see people react to him in a stadium and it’s like they’ve seen a god,” said Pradeep Magazine, a well-known Indian sports writer.

In 1991, as Tendulkar’s career took off, the Indian government pushed through radical economic reforms, triggering massive economic growth and social transformation. Tens of millions of households bought television sets for the first time. Indian authorities sold rights to broadcast cricket to satellite TV networks for huge sums. Advertisers poured in cash.

But despite his stardom and success Tendulkar remained humble, professional and grounded. Married with two children, his home life, apart from a taste for luxury Italian or German cars, was entirely traditional.

“He is a nice son and a good husband. He represents certain types of values in spite of India’s growth as a cricketing power and his own success,” said Pradeep Magazine.

Tendulkar is also known as a hardworking perfectionist, which appeals to his fans in Nehru Place – largely self-made or self-employed businessmen – and beyond.

“He had all the shots in the book but what was striking was his hunger for the game, not just the talent he was born with but what he did with that talent,” Saurav Ganguly, a former captain of India, told NDTV, a local TV channel..

The peak of Tendulkar’s career coincided with an intense period of economic growth and a new belief in India’s rapid transformation into a superpower. He was named player of the 2003 World Cup. In 2004 he hit 248 not out, his highest score. In 2008 he became the highest Test run-scorer ever. The Indian economy was expanding at an average of 9% annually, inspiring even greater confidence and, sometimes, bombast. Indian cricketing authorities were increasingly dominant globally.

“In any country when there is a whole new wave of nationalism and identity and success in a certain sport it is identified in a particular personality. Sachin became the kind of nucleus around which it all revolved. There were other players but they came and went away. Sachin was there throughout,” said Alam Srinivas, an Indian author.

Though the first Indian sportsman to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha, the national assembly’s upper house, Tendulkar has also avoided politics – despite the efforts of successive governments. Then there are the financial rewards, another reason for his popularity. Forbes, the business magazine, lists Tendulkar as the world’s 51st highest-paid sportsperson with an income of more than $20m this year from sponsorship deals and winnings.

The last Test match played by the Little Master will be on 14 November, against the West Indies, probably in India’s commercial capital, Mumbai, where he lives in a five-storey house in the fashionable district of Bandra.

Tendulkar’s form had been fading for some time. He has given no hint about what he would do with his new leisure time. It is unclear too, in an India which is seen once more as troubled than shining, what his legacy will be.

Akshay Jha, an 11-year-old waiting his turn to bat in an after-school game on the only patch of clear dirt on Nehru Place’s choked car park, had no doubt, however. “He is the best, ever,” he said
