Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award For Dhoni
India’s ODI and T20 Captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, will receive the prestegious Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award – The country’s highest honour for a Sports person. He is the second cricketer only after Sachin Tendulkar to be receiving the award. He has done a tremendous job for the team and his personal records have has been on the rise. For the way he conducts himself and rallies the troop, it is a good boost for him. Previously, Rahul Dravid and Saurav Ganguly were supposed to be nominated, but some confusion within the BCCI saw them miss the opportunity. This will surely be another feather to this enthralling Cricketer to share space with Sachin Tendulkar.
