Given the appalling revelations in this thread: Is Sachin the best.... I'd say the sooner he disappears from public life the better. People obviously think very little of him.
He should concentrate more on politics now. He is past his prime. Let him go out with the "master" status intact or suffer Beckham's fate in football.
I think he will stop after the next world cup wins still then he will continue playing the game and he is play great too.
Gosh, that's negative... you don't think anyone will ever play as well as he does? Might as well quit the game then.
