Mumbai: After retiring from international cricket on Saturday, Sachin Tendulkar told a press conference that he retired at the right time.

 




On retirement after his journey of 24 years, Sachin said, “It hasn't struck me yet that I have retired, still I feel I will play. 24 hours after 24 years of cricket, I need a break of 24 days now. It was the perfect time to retire as my body was unable to take the load.”
 
He added, “It has been a dream journey for me for the past 24 years. Many challenges came my way but my family and friends helped me in finding the solution to the challenges”.
 
On holding his farewell test at Wankhede stadium, Sachin said, “I told BCCI to hold the last test at Mumbai so that my mother could watch me play.”
 
On his future plans he said, “I retired but will remain in touch with cricket”.

On getting Bharat Ratna, Sachin said, “Yesterday I said that this award is for my mother, they have sacrificed everything, this award to all the mothers, the award belongs to the entire nation- congratulate to Dr. CNR Rao.”
