Sporting celebrities and bodies have once again stormed Twitter with their takes on Sachin Tendulkar and his emotional retirement from international cricket.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan posted a picture of the master blaster holding a stump as the Indian cricket team gave him a mobile guard of honour and wrote, farewell.

BCCI posted how Tendulkar finally walked off wiping a tear.

The Mumbai Indians wrote that Sachin would remain in everyone's hearts forever.

Former Australian pace bowler Jason Gillespie said Sachin had spoken well in his farewell speech, calling him a very humble and respectful man and wishing him all the best for his post playing life.

Tom Moody called Tendulkar's speech moving and classy and talked about how the icon was composed and graceful to the end.

Tendulkar gave an excellent farewell speech where he left nobody to thank out of whoever had helped him in his inspiring life as a cricketer for India.
