There are things only sports can do – good matches are a thriller movie, a tearful drama and a happy novel – all rolled into one. Now, if we are to talk about last decade for Indian sports, one can only say that it was full of ups and downs. And while some moments were heartbreaking, some literally left us speechless. 

Here we look at some of them.
