Who is the most admired sportsperson in India? No guess work will match easily the survey by yougov.co.uk.
While the majority will rightly answer Narendra Modi as the most admired individual in India, it is equally or more tough to rightly assume the most admired sportsperson.
The market, emotions, trends, social media following will all make Virat Kohli the undiputed leader of the hearts of millions of his fans. But the survey suggests otherwise. India’s biggest celebrity brand icon, the most followed Indian sport star in India, is not rated as the most admired sportsperson in India. The extremely loved and followed cricketer is not the most admired sports personality in India.
Hard to believe. But true. As some other icon has maintained to carry on his charisma and fan following over the years. The most admired sportsperson in the country is also just behind the Prime Minister in ruling the hearts in the nation.
The man who was once also admired by the former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf . It is MS Dhoni. The Blue Brigade veteran tops the list with a score of 7.7% in the yougov.co.uk survey. Who next? The answer will reinforce the “old is gold” phrase. Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is the next sportsperson with an overall sixth position and 6.8% score. Kohli has a rating of only 4.8%.
The Indian sports lovers are also the admirers of global sports icons. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi to David Beckham a number of international sports stars have their admirers in India. Portugal and Juventus football icon Ronaldo tops the foreign stars table with 2.6% votes, Messi has 2% while Becker stays in the list with 1.6% votes.
