Tendulkar gets the mic finally! Here goes: Friends please settle down, Ill get more emotional! Its hard to believe my wonderful journey is coming to an end. Ive a list of names to thank. The first is my father, who passed away in 1999. Without his guidance I wouldnt be standing in front of you. he said chase your dreams, dont give up, the path will be difficult. I miss him today. My mom, I dont know how she managed a naughty child like me. She just prayed and prayed from the day I started playing the game. For four years I stayed with my uncle and aunt when in school, they treated me like their own son. My eldest brother Nitin doesnt like to talk ,much but he said, whatever you do, I know you will give 100%. My first cricket bat was presented to me by my sister Savita. She still continues to fast while I bat. Ajit my brother - We have lived this dream together, he sacrificed his career for me, he took me to Achrekar sir first. Even last night he called me to discuss my dismissal. Even when Im not playing we will still be discussing technique. If that hadnt happened, I would have been a lesser cricketer. The most beautiful thing happened to me when I met Anjali in 1990. I know that being a doctor there was a big career in front of her. But she decides that I should continue playing and she took care of the children. Thanks for bearing with me for all the nonsense Ive said (Anjali wipes tears). Then the two precious diamonds of my life Sara and Arjun. Ive missed out on several birthdays, holidays. I know for 14-16 years Ive not spent enough time with you. But I promise you I will spend the next 16. My inlaws - Ive discussed several things with them. The most important thing they did was allow me to marry Anjali. In the last 24 years my friends have made terrific contributions. They have been with me while I was stressed. They have been with me even at 3am when I was injured. Thanks for being there for me. My career started when I was 11. I was extremely delighted to see Achrekar sir in the stands. I used to ride on his scooter and play two matches a day. Sir took me along to make sure I played. On a lighter note, Sir never said well played because he didnt want me to be complacent. You can push your luck now, Sir, since Im not playing cricker anymore. I started my career here in Mumbai. I remember landing from NZ at 4am and playing a Ranji game the next day. The BCCI was fantastic from my debut. Thanks to the selectors. You were right with me making sure my treatment was taken care of. Thanks to all the senior cricketers who have played with me. We see on the screen Rahul, VVS, Sourav, Anil who is not here. All the coaches. I know when MS presented the 200th Test cap, I had a message to the team - I said we are all so proud to be representing the nation. I hope to continue to serve the nation with dignity. I have full faith that you will serve the country in the right spirit. I will be failing in my duty if I didnt thank the doctors who have kept me fit. Given the injuries I have suffered. They have treated me in odd hours. My dear friend the late Mark Mascarenhas. I miss him. My current management team WSG, for continuing what Mark has done. Someone who has worked closely with me for 14 years is my friend Vinay Nayudu. The media has backed me a lot, since my school days. Even today. Thank you. Thanks to the photographers for capturing moments. I know my speech has become long. I want to thank people who have flown in from different parts of the world. I want to thank my fans from the bottom of my heart. Sachin, Sachin will reverberate in my years till I stop breathing. (Followed by loud cheers). The crowd wants more. Sachin has handed back the mic. We havent seen the last of him here surely. Note : Delhi Police Ki taraf se ye msg.
