Gurugram, Dec 16 (IANS) India's No. 1 women's singles tennis player -- Karman Kaur Thandi -- won the 'Most Stylish Sportsperson' Award at the India Fashion Awards (IFA) 2022.

My style reflects who I am - a woman, an Indian and a global athlete," said Karman dressed in an elegant flowing silver ensemble.
