India's team to Bangladesh in 2000: Where are they now?

Sachin Tendulkar

With Murali Kartik having been promoted up the order to be the night watchman, Tendulkar went further down the order, coming in at No.5. Having played more than a decade of international cricket until then, Tendulkar carried on in the same vein until November 2013, when he retired in front of his home ground in Mumbai, scoring 76 in his final innings.

After his retirement, Sachin hasn’t been as actively involved with mainstream cricket as his teammates. He was sworn in as a member of the Rajya Sabha in 2012, and was also announced as India’s brand ambassador for the Rio Olympics 2016.

Walking away from the game has done little to his brand image, for he continues to endorse a number of products and is a strong brand icon. He is also the owner of one of the ISL (Indian Super League) sides, the Kerala Blasters.

He recently turned up for the MCC against the Rest of the World for a game in 2014, and was one of the forces that helped materialise the All Stars tournament in association with Shane Warne last year.
