Chris Gayle cried during Sachin Tendulkar’s retirement speech



Undoubtedly, one of the most emotional scenes in the international cricket, Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell speech was an emotional one for the fans all around the world.

Tendulkar took on West Indies in his final Test which was his 200th. Both the umpires and West Indies cricketers gave Tendulkar a guard of honour at the beginning of the game.

Tendulkar scored 74 in his final innings. He didn’t get to bat in the second innings as India defeated West Indies by an innings and 126 runs. At the end of the match, Tendulkar gave a farewell speech that made millions cry. Not just the fans but also the players couldn’t hold back their tears.

Windies all-rounder Kirk Edwards revealed that he along with Chris Gayle were teary-eyed when Tendulkar was bidding his goodbye to cricket.

“For the 200th Test match, I was there. It was very emotional for me as well. I had my shades on. I was next to Gayle as well.

“Both of us were sniffing (tearing up). We tried to not let waterfall out of our eyes. It was a very touching moment. Knowing that you’re never gonna see this guy in the park again playing cricket,” Edwards told Crictracker.

Tendulkar ended up his career with 15,921 runs, 51 centuries, 68 fifties and an average of 53.78 across 329 innings in Test cricket.
