Thank you Mahi for a great journey, says Sachin Tendulkar

MS Dhoni was among the billions who received a personally autographed photo from Sachin Tendulkar as part of BCCI's tribute to the Master Blaster.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India's #ThankYouSachin campaign on the social networking site - Twitter - received an overwhelming response from Sachin's fans across the nation.

During the ongoing Test series between India and the West Indies, all Twitter users who sent an appreciative message for Tendulkar to the @BCCI handle with #ThankYouSachin would instantaneously receive a Tweet from @BCCI with a momentous picture of Sachin, including a personalised message and signature in his handwriting.
