Wow. That's a real shock, far quicker than I expected. RIP.

Absolutely terrible news. I never thought his illness would become this bad that quickly.

He will be missed. RIP.

Particularly bad for his younger children. I was hoping we might get to see him against in Sydney so it's a bit of a shock it's happened so quickly.

Oh man. And Bill Lawry to commentate his last match next week, will be a much more cringeworthy commentary team next summer, whichever channel shows the cricket, that is.

wow what a terrible shock...
We'll never see Tendulkar bat in odis again,and now we'll never listen to the manwhose commentary made his innings even more exciting to watch.
RIP... he will be dearly missed
