...before Sachin, whether it be Khel Ratna or Padma awards. So if and when Bharat Ratna is considered for sportspersons, this gentleman should be considered before Sachin. He has a bigger lonegvity and has been on the top for a greater period than Sachin - he became a GM at 16 and now at 43 is still the defending World Champion! All the best vs Carlsen! Do Indians proud with one more WC win!
