Neither Kohli nor Tendulkar as Gavaskar reveals his choice for 'finest sportsperson'

"In my humble opinion, and with the greatest respect to all other legends and champions from other sports, Prakash Padukone is the finest sportsperson that India has produced. It's not just his incredible skill with which he conquered the badminton world time and again, but also his demeanor on and off the court that makes him so special in my eyes,” Sunil Gavaskar said. Padukone became the first Indian to win the All-England Open Badminton Championships in 1980.
