Grandmaster Anand is 2007's top sportsman

In his triumph, he brought glory to India and made us proud. CNN-IBN's chosen one for Indian of the Year 2007 in the Sports category is the man who inspired enough of his countrymen to take up the game, so much so, that the country became a world chess power. He is none other than Mr Consistent Viswanathan Anand. He is India's first Grandmaster who shocked the mighty Gary Kasparov. And now even after 20 years into the sport, the fire still burns for the current World Champion.
