Four Indian sportspersons in Forbes India 30 Under 30 list

New Delhi, Feb 06: Business magazine Forbes has released a 30 Under 30 list that features Indians in their 20s who are "shaping new India".

The exhaustive list which is spread across 15 categories has names of pistol shooter Heena Sidhu, right-arm fast-medium bowler Jasprit Bumrah, singer and song writer Jubin Nautiyal, Indian hockey goalkeeper Savita Punia, actress Bhumi Pednekar among others.

Heena Sidhu is a pistol shooter who became the first Indian woman to reach number one in world as per the rankings by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF).

India rode on Harmanpreet Kaur’s blistering knock of 171 in the World Cup semifinal last year against Australia to set up a final clash against England, which became the most watched women’s cricket match ever.

Jasprit Bumrah, right-arm fast-medium bowler for the Indian national cricket team. He holds the record for maximum wickets in Twenty20 International in a calendar year.

Savita Punia has proven to be an important part of the Indian hockey team on multiple occasions – the biggest one probably being when her save against Japan helped India to keep the 1-0 lead and qualify for Rio 2016 Olympics.
