At no stage have I looked to influence anyone with my opinion, says Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar has stated that neither has he been involved in the decision makings of the India team nor had he to do anything with the selector’s decisions concerning MS Dhoni’s recent exclusion. He also believes that India’s chances in Australia will rely highly on India’s batting prowess.

The conditions, whatever they are, will be the same for both India and Australia. We just have to outplay them,” he added.
