So Tendulkar's domestic career ends in smiles. We sign off hoping his Test career has a similar finale. Thanks for joining us on all the four days. Goodbye
Tendulkar says: "It was a challenging wicket, had a lot for the bowlers, was fun to bat on this. Slow outfield too, so it might be 240 on the paper, but it is 280 anywhere else. This is just the kind of outing I was looking for. It's fun. All about talking cricket, getting to know each other. It was all about keeping each other relaxed. The West Indies series will be a good one. Something I will be looking forward to. Hopefully we live up to people's expectations. I want to thank the Haryana Cricket Association. I want to thank the security, the police did a great job. Thanks to the people of Lahli. Thank you everyone for making this match memorable for me."
Oh what a finish. Tendulkar has mastered this brute. And they are all queuing up to shake his hand, team-mates and rivals alike. And he has been chaired off the field by the Mumbai physio. Careful, doc, he has two more Tests to go
Well done to Kulkarni, too, who fought bravely alongside Tendulkar, who has signed off his Ranji career in style
