Many seemed heartbroken while some urged the master batsmen to reconsider the decision. A downcast fan wrote on Tendulkar&rsquo;s Facebook fan page: &ldquo;No IPL without Sachin.&rdquo; Another Tendulkar follower posted: &ldquo;We will miss you God.&rdquo; But there were others who wanted the master blaster to return to the 22-yard action in next year&rsquo;s IPL. &ldquo;I heartily request you Sachin that I want to see u in IPL 7. Hope you will play for us again,&rdquo; said a Mumbai Indians admirer. A fitting farewell Shortly after the Mumbai Indians lifted the IPL title for the first time handing a 23-run defeat to the Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens Sunday, Tendulkar said: &ldquo;This is my last IPL. I had taken the decision before the start of the tournament. This is the perfect time to say thank you to my supporters and well-wishers.&rdquo; Tendulkar got a grand send-off as he was lifted by his teammates before the customary victory lap. &ldquo;We have to be realistic about it. I&rsquo;ve played six seasons with the MI and I have completely enjoyed it. This was the best season for MI. I think this is the right time to stop playing the IPL. I am 40. Got to accept it.&rdquo;

With Sachin Tendulkar announcing his retirement from the Indian Premier League, there was a mad scramble among his legions of fans on social networking sites
