    Prakash set to meet idol Rudy Hartono

    .
    And guess who Prakash Padukone will be meeting today;

    "He has always been my idol and I've always tried to model my game after him," Padukone told on meeting the former eight-time All-England Championships winner after a gap of eight long years.

    Former world champion Hartono has been invited jointly by the Maharashtra Badminton Association and the National Sports Club of India to conduct a special coaching camp for a select group of youngsters and the organizers used the opportunity to reunite the master shuttler with another legend who modelled his game around him.

    Prakash Padukone met his idol, Rudy Hartono, again: 06-Jun-2011

    .
    And after they have met, they made these comments;

    * "I still cherish those wins. Even though Rudy was past his prime, it still wasn't easy to beat him. To beat a player of his stature was very special because it came on odd occasions," Padukone told MiD DAY

    * "He was also much younger than me," Hartono quipped.

    Who is the most popular player (currently playing)?

    .
    If BC is to conduct a poll for "Who is the most popular player (currently playing)?"; I won't be surprised that Taufik Hidayat gets the majority of the votes. :):):)
