Tendulkar said he is savoring Mumbai Indians’ maiden IPL triumph.
Tendulkar said he is savouring Mumbai Indians’ maiden IPL triumph, after
realising his dream of being part of a World Cup-winning team in 2011.
And since Mumbai have qualified for the Champions League T20, he might
play in that tournament in October. But as of now, he wants to take his
mind off the game and go on a holiday.
“I will be resting for a while. I will continue to train. I’ll have net
sessions as I still play Test cricket and will focus on fitness. After
the holiday, I will train again,” he said.
His son Arjun is also coming up through the ranks as a junior cricketer,
and the master has often been seen giving him tips. Asked if he’ll use
the summer break to focus more on his son’s game, Tendulkar replied: “He
has a couple of coaches and I don’t want to disturb that arrangement. I
will give him the freedom to listen to his coaches, because too much
advice can confuse him.”
Tendulkar has been working closely with a British publication house on
the Tendulkar Opus, for which he had earlier agreed to give half a pint
of blood to be inserted in 10 premium copies, but later decided against
it.
Opus Media CEO Karl Fowler had told Mail Today that it would be launched
soon after Tendulkar scores his 100th international century. But more
than a year after he got that, against Bangladesh during the Asia Cup in
Dhaka, there’s still no news of the project.
Asked about the probable date of release, Tendulkar said: “Nothing has
been decided as yet. I have to meet World Sports Group (with which he
has a tie up) people on this.
Tendulkar is a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha. Asked if he would be
attending the next Parliament session, he said: “Whenever I am not
doing anything, I would go.”
