Stars of all sports praise the player known the world over as the Little Master.
In a sign of how he transcended cricket, sports stars from all persuasions reached out through social media to wish Sachin Tendulkar the best post-cricket.
Tendulkar announced he will play his 200th and final Test match at his home ground Mumbai later this year against the West Indies, bringing down the curtain on his glittering career.
Former foes and teammates all took to Twitter to say what they are going to miss out the most.
