In 2002, just 12 years into his career, Wisden ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Donald Bradman, and the second greatest one-day-international (ODI) batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards. In September 2007, the Australian leg spinner Shane Warne rated Tendulkar as the greatest player he has played with or against. He is sometimes referred to as the Little Master or the Master Blaster.

| Sonia Gandhi |
2. Sonia Gandhi: one who can almost-single-handedly win two consecutive LS polls in the world's largest democracy has got to have some 'influence' and deservedly so. Mrs Gandhi is a woman who is admired by the elite and the poor alike. She is not only intelligent but displays certain 'human traits' which have almost disappeared from politicians of this country. She is a ray of hope for India.

| Ratan Tata |
10. Ratan Tata Age: 71
Chairman, Tata Group
Soft-spoken and media-shy, Ratan Tata is perhaps India's most admired business leader. A scion of the Tata family, he runs the Tata Group's interests in sectors as far apart as steel, telecom, autos, and mining. The group itself is seen as more ethical than some of its competitors and runs large institutions such as schools and hospitals. He has gained international prominence thanks to multibillion-dollar takeovers of Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus and British-based automakers Jaguar and Land Rover. Last month he launched the Nano, a sub-$2500 car expected to create a new market segment.
The list is my own compilation and is not in order or rankings. These are the 10 Indians who I think to be the most influential Indians of the decade 2000 to 2010.
