Collating a list of the top 20 moments in Indian sport is both an exercise in celebration and an invitation to argument. How can achievements by individuals be rated against those of teams? How can athletes be ranked across generations, competitions, genders? What marks greatness - results alone or impact of personality?Do the vast distances of history unfairly blur the past when it is regarded against the high-definition sharpness of modern sporting achievement?ESPN India decided to go down this potentially tricky road as a means of saluting the richness, variety and breadth - often overlooked - of Indias sporting history.When the idea first came into being, we on the sites staff drew up our own personal lists of top 20 Indian sporting moments and then had a lengthy debate. We were each surprised by what the others among us remembered as significant, and there were passionately argued reasons for each nomination. The initial (very) longlist went way beyond 75, and before we made up out a shortlist for a jury, we believed we had Indian sport covered.We then reached out to our jury - competitors and achievers, pioneers across disciplines and thinkers about sport at large, as well as respected journalists across a range of sports. They informed us about what and whom we had left out, arguing equally forcefully over events and people.Which of the Olympic hockey golds should feature on a shortlist: the first ever? The first by India as an independent country? Or the one where they beat Pakistan in 1964? Can you leave out India getting to the 1966 Davis Cup Challenge Round against Australia, the strongest Davis Cup team in the events history?If WWE fans heard the stories about the Great Gama, they would gawp. How could anyone forget the peerless Sriram Singh, whose 800m record still stands? Or the charismatic, cool snooker player OB Agarwal, who broke the stranglehold the Anglo-centric nations had on the World Amateur Snooker Championship in 1984 and was claimed by cancer before he was 40?Finally all the jury rankings were in and each sporting event given points based on where it featured on a jury members ranking system: 20 points for each No. 1 ranking, 19 for a No. 2, and so on. Our top 20 were arrived at by adding up these points.We discovered that while Indians might be considered sluggish recorders of their athletic history, our individual memories endure beyond the erosion that time inflicts and the fatigue that cynicism brings. It is why the power of KD Jadhavs Olympic medal in 1952 lives through the ages.No matter who has finished in the top 20 or outside it, this compilation of the Top 20 Moments in Indian Sport has been revelatory, inspiring and humbling to us.One of our jurors, golfer Jeev Milkha Singh, was competing in an event in Mauritius when we tracked him down for his list. Jeev told us he found it tough to draw one up, saying, They are each of them champions, winners in their own fields; to rank them by numbers, that feels unfair - its just not fair. We appreciated the sentiment - and began debating all over again.Whether you agree or disagree with the rankings, we hope you enjoy reading the stories and remember some of Indias most astonishing athletes and the history they created.THE JURYTom Alter, actor, sports enthusiast and writer.

MINNEAPOLIS -- After opening the Big Ten season on a two-game skid, Minnesota found a way to right itself with a backup quarterback.Rutgers is hoping for similar results this week.Coach Chris Ash has elevated Gio Rescigno to starter for the remainder of the season, hoping that his solid play in the second half against Illinois last week can help the Scarlet Knights (2-5, 0-4 Big Ten) get that elusive first conference victory.Last week the Golden Gophers (4-2, 1-2) started Conor Rhoda in place of the injured Mitch Leidner, and the junior played mistake-free football to help them beat Maryland, 31-10.We tried, obviously, a lot of different quarterbacks, Ash said. This is not to blame the quarterback position or to blame Chris (Laviano). We have not produced on offense here in the last four weeks, when youve got four games, youve got 14 points, its not good enough.Rhoda is expected to start his second straight game for the Gophers. Leidner was able to return to some light work in practice this week after suffering a concussion against Iowa on Oct. 8, but coach Tracy Claeys said earlier in the week that it would be difficult for him to get enough practice reps to be ready to play on Saturday.For the Gophers, a bigger concern is not taking Rutgers lightly. Prior to a 24-7 loss to Illinois, the Scarlet Knights were outscored a combined 136-0 in losses to Ohio State and Michigan.You worry about yourself, and if you want to have an opportunity towards the end of the year, youve got to play your best each and every Saturday, and have respect for your opponent, Claeys said. You prepare for them. And if you dont, then somethings going to happen.Here are some things to watch this week:APPRECIATIVE RHODA: The former walk-on made his first career start last week at Maryland. And he trieed to soak up the experience.dddddddddddd. Before the game I kept walking out there and looking at the field and it was an experience that I will never forget, he said. Definitely if I get that opportunity to play this week that will be a whole other experience doing it in front of a home crowd and Im sure a bunch of my family will be able to make it and there will be that much more of an experience to be able to do it at home.LINGEN IMPROVING: Minnesota tight end Brandon Lingen figured to be one of the teams top pass catchers this season. But he needed surgery after a Week 2 win over Indiana State to repair a broken clavicle. He caught one pass for eight yards last week and Claeys said he will get more work this week. Its hard to just jump in there and play a whole bunch all of a sudden, and so I will work him in more and more, Claeys said.WEARY RUTGERS: The Scarlet Knights are one of two Big Ten teams that has yet to have a bye, and Ash said it is taking its toll on a banged-up group. Its tough, especially when you dont have the type of depth that you really feel like you need to go out and play in a physical league like we do, Ash said. Rutgers will have a bye next weekend.LAVIANO DEMOTED: Ash bent over backward this week to make sure Laviano did not shoulder the blame for the teams struggles. In seven games, he completed just 48.3 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and two interceptions. Chris has done everything that hes been asked to do, Ash said. Hes changed his attitude. Hes changed his work ethic. His commitment level to the football team has been sky high. Hes provided tremendous leadership for the other members of the offense. ' ' '
