The batting great, who is currently playing for his country in the fourth Test against Australia, also said that the decision to award him the Padma Vibhushan, will rate as one of the highlights of his illustrious career.
"I have won many awards and trophies but this is right at the top," Tendulkar told reporters in Adelaide.
"I came to know about it yesterday through my wife. I was extremely excited by it but since I was in the middle of the match, it was important to keep my focus on the game.
"It's truly a great honour to accept this award as this is recognized by the government of India. I have played for so many years and when government of India recognises your effort, gives you the second highest civilian award in the country, it's very, very special.
