Sachin Tendulkar will take oath as member of Rajya Sabha Today, on June 4. Tendulkar, who was nominated to the Upper House in April, is scheduled to take oath in the chamber of Chairman Hamid Ansari, Minister of state for Parliamentary Affairs.

President Pratibha Patil had approved the cricket legend's name along with Bollywood actor Rekha, and businesswoman Anu Aga in April for a nominated seat in the Upper House of Parliament.

Rekha and Aga took their oaths when the House was in session in May.Tendulkar could not take oath earlier due to his IPL commitments. The IPL ended only on May 27th. Meanwhile, Tendulkar's India team-mate and captain, MS Dhoni, has backed him to contribute as well in the Rajya Sabha as he does on the cricket field.

"This (Rajya Sabha) is a new avenue for him and I am sure he will do well and contribute there also," Dhoni said."I would like to wish him all the very best. He has been contributing in cricket and has done well in every field," he added.
