Katrina Kaif & Sachin Tendulkar top of the Yahoo 2010

Katrina Kaif & Sachin Tendulkar top of the Yahoo 2010: In cricket, Sachin Tendulkar led as the top cricket icon on the Yahoo! India network. Kaif hogged the limelight for reasons both professional and personal — a critically acclaimed performance in the film Rajneeti, existing cheek by jowl with a mystery stomach ailment that had the nation on tenterhooks, to her breakup with long time beau Salman Khan and her more recent, still ‘alleged’ romance with the latest Kapoor scion Ranbir.Yahoo said people followed all these developments closely across the Yahoo! network from Yahoo! News to Yahoo! Movies. Yahoo! India announced its 2010 Year in Review, the annual Yahoo! look back that identifies the top trends of the year from millions of consumer searches and the top stories and topics of the year from the Yahoo! network.

The Year in Review is a distinct way to look at people’s interests and a society in motion. This year, online activity on Yahoo! India was dominated by the public’s transfixion with a fair share of controversies and comebacks, triumphs and disasters, clashes of personalities and clashes of interests, spread over the arenas of news, politics, current affairs, cricket, finance, entertainment in general and movies in particular. As Katrina emerged at the top of the popularity charts, Sachin Tendulkar led as the top cricket icon of the year.

Like each of his previous 20 years in the game, Sachin made national news by breaking records. The highlight, of course, was his emerging as the first player in the history of the game to score 200 runs in a one-day game.

Cricket fans across the nation renamed Sachin as “God” and the frenzy reflected across the web with consumers commenting on and sharing cricket stories on the Yahoo! Network. The calendar year also saw him score 1396 Test runs at an average of 82 with two double hundreds and four other centuries — a phenomenal run that saw Tendulkar end the year as ICC Cricketer of the Year.
