Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar will take oath as member of Rajya Sabha on June 4.

Tendulkar, who turned 39 recently and was nominated to the Upper House in April, is scheduled to take oath as member in the chamber of Chairman Hamid Ansari, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Shukla said today.

Two others — actor Rekha and industrialist Anu Aga — who were nominated to Rajya Sabha along with Tendulkar had already taken oath earlier this month when the House was in session.

Tendulkar was busy with the IPL season, which had just ended earlier this week.
