Cricket: Tendulkar retires from ODIs

Indian batting legend Sachin
Tendulkar on Sunday announced
his retirement from international
one-day cricket after scoring a
record-breaking 49 centuries in
the 50-over format.

The 39-year-old is the world's top
run-getter in one-day cricket, with
18,426 runs from 463 matches at
an average of 44.83.

"I have decided to retire from the
one-day format of the game," he
said in a statement.

"I feel blessed to have fulfilled the
dream of being part of a World
Cup winning Indian team (in
2011).

"I am eternally grateful to all my
well-wishers for their
unconditional support and love
over the years."

Tendulkar, who is also the highest
scorer in Tests, said that he was
quitting to allow the Indian
selectors to build a team for the
2015 World Cup which is being
held in Australia and New
Zealand.
