Sachin Tendulkar penned down an emotional note for Rohit Sharma following his decision to retire from Test cricket on Wednesday, May 7. Rohit got his debut test cap from Tendulkar, and the cricket icon in his tweet remembering the entire journey from debut to leading Team India.

Tendulkar wrote, "I remember presenting you with your Test cap in 2013 at Eden Gardens and then standing with you on the balcony of Wankhede Stadium the other day - your journey has been a remarkable one. From then to now, you have given your best to Indian cricket as a player and as a captain. Well done, Rohit, on your Test career, and best wishes for what lies ahead."
