He was among the millions left speechless by Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell speech and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly said the retired legend can only be compared to football great Diego Maradona when it comes international sporting icons. ‘Diego Maradona, he was my favourite and so is Sachin. And both of them are geniuses,’ Ganguly said.  He choked on tears while delivering a goodbye speech, which left many with moist eyes. ‘People said he doesn’t take a stand, doesn’t talk at the right time. Well, he made everyone speechless with his speech. Hugging Sachin was a special moment for me.’
