Putting to rest all speculation
about his joining politics following his nomination to the Rajya Sabha, Sachin
Tendulkar on Tuesday said he was not quitting cricket to join politics and will
always remain a sportsman.
Speaking for the first time after he
was nominated for a Rajya Sabha seat, Tendulkar acknowledged that the honour
bestowed on him was for his contribution to the field of cricket. "I am not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always
remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket, which is my
life. I will continue to play cricket," he said during a felicitation function
by a private firm here.
