The last line of SV’s article hits the nail on its head… I have always wondered how it would be the day after Sachin retires. We all have our personal favourites - Dravid for me - but Sachin’s irreplaceable in many ways, isn’t he! The closest I have come to guessing the feeling is by echoing Simon and Garfunkel in Mrs. Robinson, where they sing, “Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you… yoohooho…”
