Padma Vibhushan

After the Bharat Ratna, the Padma Vibhushan ("Lotus Decoration") is the Republic of India's second-highest civilian honor. The medal, which was established on January 2, 1954, is granted for "extraordinary and outstanding service." Tendulkar received India’s second-highest civilian honor in May 2008.

Although Sachin Tendulkar is no stranger to awards, he said the Padma Vibhushan honor, which he received from President Pratibha Patil in New Delhi on Monday, was very meaningful to him. After winning the prize, Tendulkar stated, "I'm quite thrilled, it's impossible to convey in words." "I've earned various honors over the last 18 years, but this one is really meaningful to me. "I'm glad the government recognizes my effort," he continued.

"I'm proud of him," Tendulkar's wife Anjali, who accompanied the batsman to the renowned ceremony, said. Anjali Tendulkar, who accompanied her husband to the renowned event, stated, "I'm pleased with him." "Sachin plays from the heart and does not require a trophy to improve his performance."
