Recently, India’s Olympic bronze medalist, Manu Bhaker, was asked about her favorite sportsperson. She took the name of Usain Bolt, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli as the ones she would like to have spend a day with.

In the Paris Olympics in 2024, Bhaker made India proud by winning a bronze medal in the women’s 10-meter air pistol event. Bhaker revealed she has been a fan of Bolt and has read his autobiography many times.

Maybe I'll name a few of my favorites. Usain Bolt [Jamaican runner] is one of them-I've read his book so many times and I've known his journey as I've watched so many of his interviews too. And then, in India, cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, Dhoni sir [MS Dhoni], and Virat Kohli. It would be an honour to spend even an hour with any of them.

Manu Bhaker told Cosmopolitan

She emerged as the first women’s shooter from India to win a medal in the Olympics. Then she went on to win another bronze medal in the mixed 10-meter air pistol team event alongside Sarabjot Singh.

Virat Kohli has dominated the world cricket for the last decade and is the man behind Tendulkar’s tally of centuries with 80 international tons. He has gone past Tendulkar in ODI’s to score 50 centuries and etched his name in the history books as one of the greatest cricketers ever. He has been an inspiration for millions with his hunger for the sport and his dedication to his fitness levels.

MS Dhoni is one of the greatest ever captain that cricket has ever seen. He is the only captain to win all three ICC trophies and his popularity is on another level in India and around the world. Currently, he is featuring only for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Dhoni also serves as an inspiration to people taking up the sport so it is not surprising that Bhaker took the name of the top 3 cricketers from India.
