Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday once again dismissed the talk regarding his retirement, saying he wants to continue playing.

"I think people have been asking me this question for long. The first time it was asked was in 2005. Your job is to ask questions and mine is to keep playing," Tendulkar said on the sidelines of a promotional event.

 Tendulkar, when asked about the opinions of former cricketers, opined that he will carry on doing what he "practises everyday".

"There are some people who have played cricket giving their opinions and there are also some who have never played the game also giving their opinions. I am not worried about too many opinions. You have to balance it out. But at the end of the day, you have to do what you practise everyday," Tendulkar was quoted as saying by PTI.

The batting maestro added that the media never focussed on his much awaited 100th hundred during the 2011 World Cup. But post-World Cup it suddenly became the talk of the town.
