As Sachin Tendular walked out, the nation came to a standstill

It was Sachin Tendulkar’s final Test and India almost came to a standstill as the “little master” walked out to bat for the very last time. Wankede Stadium hosted the West Indies as Sachin played out his 200th Test. As the batting legend walked out of the dressing room, he looked skywards for a fleeting moment. That moment was captured by Mid-Day Media photographer Atul Kamble. The picture won the Wisden-MCC Photo of the year award and India had an image to relive the moment for ever.
