The fact that the God rose to the occasion, and played a great farewell innings (his chances of batting in the second innings are nil) must have made Indian editors sweat even more.

There must have been editorial huddles in every newsroom. The editors must have planned, and replanned, how to cover the Maestro’s swansong. Here are screenshots of headlines and images used by six top Indian newspapers:
