When two of India's greatest sport stars share the stage, it is bound to make everyone sit up, and take notice. That's what happened when legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar was called to present the lifetime achievement award to the country's shuttling great, Prakash Padukone at a glittering ceremony to celebrate 40 years of Sportstar magazine yesterday.

Before presenting the award, Gavaskar admitted: "It is a fan boy moment for me. With no disrespect to other sporting heroes of India, you [Padukone] are the greatest Indian sportsman ever. In those days, All England was like the World Championships."
