Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award's name changed, Gautam Gambhir said- 'If the name of the award is not in the name of the player...'

  • The Indian hockey team performed brilliantly in the Tokyo Olympics and the men's team managed to win the bronze medal.
  • However, the women's team missed out on winning the bronze medal. After the spectacular performance of Indian players in the Olympics, now the PM of India, Narendra Modi has taken a big decision.
  • The PM has announced the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award to be known as Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award.
  • On this matter, former cricketer and BJP MP Gautam Gambhir said that this thing should have happened earlier, when the Khel Ratna award was started, then it should have been in the name of a player.
  • He said, "There is no player in the whole history bigger than Major Dhyan Chand. The Modi govt took this decision, the whole country would be happy and would support it."
