No, sachin still has many years of cricket left in him. Just his presence makes a big difference to the opposition and the Indian team.

RASHMI RAJ

Yes, why not? The time for Sachin-less ODIs has come. The young cricketers have to shoulder their responsibilities some day. Who knows, we might get a new “Sachin” in a couple of years.

SUBHAYU SAHA

Yes. After the disastrous exit from the World Cup, it is clear that our team needs performers and not just brand names.

KSHAMA AGARWAL
MCKVIE, Howrah

Yes. I think he should retire. He has made enough money and is not capable of playing cricket anymore. But, he will always be a legend.

Yes. sachin can’t remain in the Indian team forever. The youngsters must also be given a chance to play.
