Sachin's heartwarming tribute to his mother post-retirement

Tendulkar had a thanksgiving note in his hand after he had called it a day from the gentleman's game in November 2013 and his mother Rajni Tendulkar was one of the first persons who he remembered.

"My mother, I don't know how she dealt with such a naughty child like me. I was not easy to manage. She must be extremely patient. For a mother, the most important thing is that her child remains safe and healthy and fit. That was what she was most bothered and worried about. She took care of me for the last 24 years that I have played for India, but even before that, she started praying for me the day I started playing cricket. She just prayed and prayed and I think her prayers and blessings have given me the strength to go out and perform, so a big thank you to my mother for all the sacrifices", said the legendary cricketer during his retirement speech at the Wankhede Stadium after he had played his 200th Test match at the venue.
