Although, there were certain other achievements they received off the field like unprecedented coverage in the country, respect among the cricket fraternity, and the international acknowledgement were a few of them.

Where do Strahan and Brooks rank among the league’s best defensive players from 2000 to 2009? They’re close to the top, but the choice for No. 1 was a no-brainer: Ray Lewis Two seasons later, the NFL doesn’t quite feel right without the Ravens’ inside linebacker crushing bones and smashing heads. Lewis is right there with Dick Butkus as the most feared tackler to ever play the position. Warren Sapp Sapp stirred up a lot more trouble on the field as a defensive tackle with the Buccaneers and the Raiders than he does with the mic now....

Hyde is a big target (6-feet, 230 pounds), and he served as the battering ram under Urban Meyer's Ohio State teams the last two seasons. Hyde opened last season on a three-game suspension after an incident in a bar, but he responded with 1,521 yards, 15 TDs and 7.3 yards per carry in 11 games. Hyde doesn't have elite speed; he ran a 4.66 in the NFL Combine. He is, however, the best power back in this year's class....
Amaro set a NCAA record for single-season yardage for a tight end with 1,352 yards last season. He's a big body (6-foot-5, 265 pounds) with an average 40 time (4.74), and he's leaving a spread-and-shred offense from Texas Tech.

This is despite the fact that 6 players out of the 26 probables who made it to the national camp at Gandhinagar for the World Cup hailed from the Western state of India, including the likes of Pro Kabaddi stars such as Rishank Devadiga, Vishal Mane, Kashiling Adake, Sachin Shingade, Nilesh Shinde and Girish Ernak. This comes as a setback for a state that has nurtured the home-grown sport since its very inception; has Kabaddi as its official state game and produces the largest number of professional players from the four regions of Mumbai, Mumbai Metropolitan, Sangli and Ratnagiri....
