Tributes have started pouring in for master blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who called time Sunday on his staggering one-day cricket career.

Tendulkar, who holds the record for the maximum number of appearances and being the highest run-getter and century-maker in both forms of the game, decided to retire just ahead of the home series against Pakistan beginning Dec 25.“I felt that he would play the series against Pakistan. But it is his decision and I think it is the right one,” said his contemporary and former India captain Sourav Ganguly.
