Tendulkar wants to to light up villages in his next innings
The former batsman, who is a Rajya Sabha MP as well, said he is aiming to ensure that villages get access to electricity.
"My second innings is more about satisfaction. Many villages don't have electricity and life there comes to a standstill after sunset. This is one thing I want to change," Tendulkar told 'Star Sports'.
"It is going to require a lot of support and I hope I get it from everyone," said the celebrated player, who recently adopted the Puttamraju Kandrika village in Andhra Pradesh as part of a government initiative.
On to cricket and Tendulkar offered an insight into how tough it is playing in Australia, where the national team is currently playing a Test series.
"It (Australia) will make your life difficult. The players, media, groundsmen, everyone will make your life difficult but if you do well they are the first to stand up and applaud you. That's what I like about them," Tendulkar said.
Tendulkar played six World Cups and was part of the champion team which lifted the trophy in 2011. Speaking of the upcoming edition in Australia and New Zealand, Tendulkar said he would enjoy from the sidelines this time.
"I don't like to coach when I am not playing but I will be watching. I strongly believe that we have a very good chance. We just have to focus on process, the result will take care of itself," he said.
She's street-smart!

He said that he still remember that one small room from where Yash’s career took the flight.
“Yashji used to work with his elder brother B R Chopra. He started off with a small room at Rajkamal studio and now Yash Raj studio is one of the well known production houses and this job was not an easy thing to do," he said.

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra is all set
for her maiden production venture 'Madamji', which is currently in
pre-production stage.
The 32-year-old actress, who will be shooting back-to-back
for 'Bajirao Mastani' and 'Dil Dhadakne Do', says she is enjoying the
process of taking decisions as a producer.
"'Madamji' is a fictional story. It's a story of an item girl, who is thrown in the world of politics. 'Madamji' is about woman empowerment. I am enjoying the fact that I am going to office and taking decisions as a producer," Priyanka said in an interview.
"I meet so many assistant directors on my sets and they have some great scripts but don't get the opportunity. I don't have the capability of making a big budget film but I will make small films with some great talents. The name of my production house is Purple Pebble Pictures," she added.
The actress said she has some free time during the New Year that she will spend playing dress up for her brother's marriage.
"People are in a festival mood in the last few days before a New Year. My brother is getting married. We are planning a lot for the sangeet and wedding. We are sending invitations and all the cousins are gathering. It is fun time."
Priyanka had a successful year with the release of 'Mary Kom' and the actress wants to continue taking bold decisions when it comes to her career.
"In my career I have never opted for a safe path. Look at 'Mary Kom', do I look like her? During 'Barfi!', I was told that I will not be accepted as an autistic girl while people told me I should do something like 'Fashion' at the end of the career.
"Now, I am turning producer with 'Madamji' and people are saying women can't run a production house. But I want to take that chance," she said.
Priyanka has also signed a deal with America's ABC network to star in one of their projects.
"As an actress I feel flattered because you also come to know where you are placed internationally. I am going to LA to discuss my projects with them and let's see what they will offer me," she said.
