MUMBAI: A brewer, a sugar baron and a cement maker are among the most influential people in Indian sport, according to a recent power list, elbowing out some of the country's biggest sports stars themselves.

What's more, the power brokers not only make the rules in India but are also wielding greater influence abroad, from cricket pitches to Formula One tracks.

While iconic batsman Sachin Tendulkar tops the Sports Illustrated list, he is followed by Lalit Modi, chief of the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket property; Vijay Mallya, brewer and owner of Force India Formula One team, and Sharad Pawar, a sugar baron and president-elect of the International Cricket Council.
