Among politicians, Rahul Baba’s heightened efforts to mingle with the aam voter in Congress’s traditional strongholds may not have paid off as well for the Congress Party (the near-rout in Karnataka assembly elections seems to be one of the last few nails in the party’s coffin), but for the young ‘yuvraj’ it has meant nearly 11 steps up the Most Admired ladder. Voter apathy toward the Congress has however meant a rise in fortune for former Prime Minister and the Bhartiya Janata Party’s moderate face Atal Behari Vajpayee. He’s gone up by nine places as opposed to the 2007 rankings. Cricketers seem to be the biggest losers however, thanks in no small part to the big debacle at the 2008 Cricket World Cup in West Indies. While Mumbai boy Tendulkar’s fan following still remains somewhat strong (he’s only one step down in the rankings), despite not being at the peak of his playing prowess this year; Ganguly dada has slipped down an astounding 16 places in the rankings. To be remembered is the fact that the 2007 survey had taken place right after Ganguly’s smashing comeback (much to the chagrin of a subdued Greg Chappel) against South Africa, West Indies and Sri Lanka, while this year, the survey was done around the time Team Kolkata was being smashed out of the reckoning in the hugely popular 2008 Indian Premier League. But the bad news for swashbuckling cricketers ends here, thanks to the Twenty20 mania that seems to be sweeping Indians and the world at large. The crown duo – Dhoni and Yuvraaj – that brought home the Twenty20 World Cup to India, have been big gainers in this year’s rankings. Captain M.S. Dhoni has moved up ten places to sit pretty at Rank 27; while Yuvraj Singh has made his maiden entry at Rank 34. If you are still wondering why, just ask any Twenty20 fan and you’ll promptly get your answers.
There is a lot more to go into, but it’s time to get under the skin of the methodology followed for the survey. And after that... enjoy the titillating rankings that will leave you breathless for more. A Greek poet once said: “The ridiculous is more easily retained than the admirable...” We don’t defer, even for a moment :-)
