Umar Gul: "Tendulkar was a source of motivation for budding cricketers, players like Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina flourished due to his presence."
Inzamamul Haq: "Tendulkar's records will be difficult to break for the current generation of batsmen. He is a role model for millions and with his retirement, a golden chapter has come to an end."

Although all tributes were truly from the heart and really emotional, two quotes really touched me... those two were....

Suresh Raina: "The reason for playing cricket. The reason for watching cricket. Sachin Tendulkar..... No words.. Love you Paji"
and the words are still ringing in my ears "We will never see another Sachin in our lifetime" :'
