I am not going to come back and play IPL. Have a few plans and may play a few matches here and there.

I'm confident and I trust my instincts.

Even my father's name is Sachin Tendulkar.

Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.

I am a sportsman and 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.

Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. ... I couldn't control my tears of joy.

But eventually it is a game of cricket.
