Three years ago on this day, Sachin Tendulkar bid farewell in front of his home crowd at the Wankhede stadium. A career that spanned precisely 24 years and one day – came to a glorious end.

They came to chant his name for one last time.
And with a speech that moved grown men and women around the world to tears, the Master Blaster bid farewell.
Here’s a look back at what was an unforgettable day for Indians around the world. A picture, after all, is worth a thousand words.
