From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sachin Tendulkar has denied he is considering retirement after ending his year-long wait for a 100th international century earlier this month.
Tendulkar, 39, had been marooned on 99 centuries since last year's World Cup with a number of former India greats, including Kapil Dev, calling for the right-hander to step aside for a younger generation.
Tendulkar, Test and one-day cricket's leading runscorer, is not ready to do that just yet, though, and even left the door open to play on until the 2015 World Cup.
"Those advising me about retirement did not bring me into the team," Tendulkar said. "I will decide when to retire. I feel those who say you should retire at the top are selfish because when you are at the top, you should serve the country instead of retiring."
Asked whether he might remain until the next World Cup, he said: "I will keep trying, the rest is in god's hands."
