Focusing on cricket and not Bharat Ratna: Sachin

Mumbai: Milestone man Sachin Tendulkar today said he would like to be on the list of ‘Bharat Ratna’ awardees but he is not thinking about the highest civilian honour as of now and would leave it on destiny.

Former cricketers Ajit Wadekar, Kapil Dev and Dilp Vengsarkar after Tendulkar’s record breaking double hundred had said that he deserves the honour.

“It’s a rare honour and whosoever have got it are not only my heroes but the heroes of the entire country. Who would not like to join that list, but my focus is on cricket. If it has to happen it will happen,” the champion batsman said at a media conference here today.(PTI)
