Tendulkar receives Padma Vibhushan
On Monday, Sachin Tendulkar was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, the second highest civilian honour, by the President of India, Pratibha Patil.
“I’m very happy, it’s difficult to explain in words,” Tendulkar said after receiving the award.
“In 18 years, I have received several awards but this one is close to my heart. I’m happy that the government has acknowledged my contribution,” he added.
Tendulkar, captain of the Mumbai Indians, is currently out of action due to a groin injury.
