Anjali Tendulkar Sachin Tendulkar Cricket Tendulkar
Sachin's wife Anjali spoke on behalf of the family and clarified that Sachin has many more yards to go and that the little master has no immediate plan for retirement.
"I can be 100 per cent assured that Sachin will never play for a minute longer when he is not enjoying himself. He still is so eager to go and play. He will continue as long as he feels he can play."
He further added that there had been no pressure from the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) for Tendulkar to retire.
"So far there has been nothing from the BCCI side and I don't know how these rumours started. Nobody is telling anyone that you have to retire," said Anjali on Friday after Tendulkar became the highest run getter in Test history.
She also said that Sachin never plays for records. "He never plays for records, he never does it."
Recalling the feeling when Tendulkar reached the landmark today, Anjali said that she was never too excited.
"It was as usual stressful. I was watching all alone, the kids were in school," she said adding their son Arjun was more worried about his written test in Taekwando.
"I was siting in one place and had full concentration on the match. Only after he achieves whatever he achieves, it all sinks in and then I felt great," Anjali said, adding, "I spoke to him. He is very happy, but still it's a very
long way to the end of the match. He was a little unhappy to miss the century."
Elaborating on family's reaction on his feat, Anjali said, "We as a family are very happy. But our family is not the one who will do something big, jump and
celebrate. His mother is a very religious person and first thing she prepared some sweets, placed it before god and prayed."
