Indian Cricket skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has won the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award, the country's highest award conferred to a sports person. He was conferred this award for leading the Indian team to the 20/20 victory in South Africa during September last year. This has made Dhoni the second cricketer to be conferred this award after the 'Little Master' Sachin Tendulkar. However, an Official Announcement is still pending and will be mostly on August 20.
BCCI Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty hailed the decision. "We are happy Dhoni got it. On two occasions, we felt let down when Rahul Dravid didn't get Khel Ratna and Yuvraj was denied the Arjuna Award. Dravid was in a good form, we had won 16 ODIs on the trot and the team was on a high but still he did not get the award."
Shetty added "What I like most about Mahi, apart from his cricket, is the way he leads and conducts himself. He is a cool customer and never gets agitated. I'm also impressed by his clarity of thought. He speaks his mind even if it may not be seen in the right sense,"
Kudos to Dhoni on this superlative achievement!!!
