Answer:

Prakash Padukone, (born June 10, 1955, Bangalore [Bengaluru], India), Indian badminton champion who dominated the national badminton scene for almost a decade (1971–80) and put India on the sport’s international map.

Explanation:

Commonwealth Games

Padukone won the national senior championship in 1971 at age 16, thereby becoming the youngest player to have achieved the feat. He won each successive national championship until 1979, setting a record of nine national titles in a row. In 1978 he won the singles badminton gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. The following year he completely dominated the top European players of his era and won both the Danish Open and the Swedish Open. His greatest accomplishment came in 1980 when he became the first Indian to win the All England Championships, the world’s most prestigious annual badminton competition. The All England win catapulted Padukone to the number one world badminton ranking, making him the first Indian to achieve that status.
