The ground at the BSS Gurukulam Higher Secondary at Alathur virtually turned into 'faces' of Tendulkar as the students, teachers and non-teaching staff turned up with the masks yesterday to record their appreciation for the batting legend.
A flag, which had the photograph of Tendulkar drawn by the students with a message 'we love, we respect, we salute you Sachin' written on it, was hoisted on the occassion.
