Khel Rtana is the highest sporting honor awarded by the country and this year Rohit Sharma along with paddler Manika Batra, women’s Hockey captain Rani Rampal, wrestler Vinesh Phogat and para-athlete T Mariyappan were awarded with this title.
“It’s been a wonderful ride and to receive such a sporting honour is a great privilege and I am very happy about it and I owe this to you all. Without your support, it wouldn’t have been possible,” India’s white-ball vice-captain said on Twitter.
Rohit Sharma becomes the fourth Indian Cricketer after Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli to receive this award and honor.
“Since we are practising social distancing, a virtual hug from me to all of you guys,” said the man who hit an unprecedented five hundreds in a single ODI World Cup during the 2019 edition in England.
