Criticism may have played part in Sachin's retirement: Gavaskar

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels that consistent criticism might have played a part in influencing Sachin Tendulkar's decision to quit One Day cricket and it would have been fantastic had he gone after completing 50 ODI centuries.

Tendulkar had been struggling for runs for quite some time, leading to debates how long he should continue playing and today he announced that he will no longer play ODIs.

"I think he really cares for Indian cricket. May be whatever he saw, read and heard might have prompted him to make a call. But I feel, he knows his body well," Gavaskar said.

"He is finishing on 49 ODI hundreds. I would have loved to see him get 50 centuries. That would have been fantastic," Gavaskar told NDTV.
