Sachin Tendulkar retires from ODIs: first and last Match with Pakistan all records in ODIs

Sachin Tendulkar has retired from ODI cricket. Tendulkar finishes an
illustrious career in the 50-over format, having played 463 ODIs,
scored 18,426 runs and made 49 centuries, each of them a world record.
His last ODI was against Pakistan in Dhaka during the Asia Cup, where
he made a half-century in India's victory.

"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. The preparatory process
to defend the World Cup in 2015 should begin early and in right
earnest. I would like to wish the team all the very best for the
future. I am eternally grateful to all my well wishers for their
unconditional support and love over the years."

Tendulkar made his ODI debut on his first international tour, in 1989,
against Pakistan in Gujranwala, where he got a duck. He scored his
first half-century in his ninth ODI and made an immediate impact when
promoted to open the batting in 1994, in an ODI against New Zealand in
Auckland, where he smashed 82 in 49 balls. His first century took 79
ODIs to arrive but he kept piling them on with remarkable consistency.
