How you feel about people pressuring Tendulkar to retire?

India's premier batsman Sachin Tendulkar may not escape the wrath of the cricket-crazy country's fans following the team's disastrous World Cup.

The 1983 winners crashed out in the first round of the event after losing two out of three group matches, to Bangladesh and former champions Sri Lanka. Irate fans and a number of former players have called for the axe to fall on captain Rahul Dravid and coach Greg Chappell, while senior players are also under fire.

Local media on Monday highlighted a television news channel's poll that showed 64 percent of those who responded wanted Tendulkar to retire.

The Asian Age newspaper quoted another television poll of 60 current and former first-class cricketers on Tendulkar's future, which found that a third were in favour of Tendulkar retiring from both Test and one-day international cricket.

More than half wanted him to retire just from one-day internationals while one in 10 wanted him to retire from all forms of cricket

I understand people are pissed at Tendulkar. But I think Tendulkar deserves one more chance, only because he has done so much for cricket there were many matches that India won because of Tendulkar batting alone. We owe him that much to give him one last chance to get his game in order. Lets see if there is anything left in him to prove himself, atleast for a year or two, because I dont think anybody wants to retire on such a sad note. I remember even Gavaskar stretching out his career far too long, and didnt retire on a happy note. I dont want that to happen to Tendulkar, he should be given that one last chance to have that one glorifying moment where we can recall Tendulkar's greatness, clap our hands, be proud of him and then he should call it quits. We fans should also be given a chance to say goodbye properly to watch Tendulkar perform greatly one last time so we can whole heartedly bid adieu.

But then again I am in too minds even though my heart wants one last Tendulkar great moment, if it is not possible, if Tendulkar feels this is the end then maybe it is best for him to retire.

I think Tendulkar very well deserved to stay..This kind of polls/articles will increase his pressure further..

they need to stop putting presure on him! hel retire if he wants. maybe he just needs to get back in shape or sumthing, after all he was the one who made all those records, so everyone needz to STOP putting pressure on him!!! 😡 😡

agreed...just because he played bad in world cup doesn't mean that he should get presurized for retirement...its his choice wheter he wannts to quit or not

He can make up his own mind.
