He may not of made a century, but the "Little Master" left the field with the only medal that had so far eluded him, as India beat Sri Lanka by six wickets in the final in Mumbai.
The 37-year-old could not be blamed for calling time on his prestigous 20-year international career, with many records to his name and even more trophies at his home.
But Tendulkar told CricketWorld.com, "No. This is a moment to enjoy and celebrate. It's not about what I'm going to do in the future. This is a special moment which I really want to enjoy and live it to its fullest.
"This was the reason why I started playing cricket. I wanted to achieve something, do something for the country. The process has been a long one and I've continued to enjoy my game. I don't see any reason why I need to change anything right now."
The 37-year-old said he was still "speechless" after India's success.
"I started playing cricket dreaming of lifting the trophy one day and that is where it all started," he said.
"I am speechless to be honest, to express how I feel. This is by far the best moment. This is the moment I have been waiting for, for such a long time, 21 or 22 years. It is really worth every bit of it. It is really, really special."
