Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar announces retirement


India’s most famous cricket player Sachin Tendulkar will soon retire after his 200th Test match. The President of the Indian Cricket Board control considered him “the greatest cricketer India has produced.” He will go down in history for his incredible scoring runs as an Indian cricketer, with a record of 15,837 runs so far. Sachin helped the Mumbai Indians franchise win this year’s IPL title and also played a role in India winning the Cricket World Cup in 2011. Sachin was the captain of his team a numerous amount of times and many famous cricketers have paid tribute to his amazing skills as a cricketer. India will be hoping after his final two games in India that he will reach the three famous figures in his last matches. Sachin has been a huge help in India’s Mumbai franchise and it’s World Cup team, but now at age 40 he has chosen to retire at the sport he has loved for so many years now and will hope to have a great legacy once he retires from cricketing.

2. What do you think Sachin should do after he retires and why? (For example donate money, volunteer, spend his money carelessly, etc.)
