There has been a lot of hue and cry from various quarters regarding the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award being awarded to M.S. Dhoni. No doubt he is an able captain leading the Indian team but he has also produced results, which shows how deserving he is.
The "Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award" is considered as one of the most honorable awards. There are a very few number of sports persons from various types of sports who have been succeeded to win this award so far. All these extraordinary sports persons are amongst the best produced by India ever. After its inception in the year of 1991-92, the very first recipient of the award was the world famous Chess player Vishwanathan Anand.
This award is given after looking at your performances in a year. So, one should not raise such dull questions as there had been several other great players in the past. Yes, there were great players like Kapil Dev and his gangs. But, they were at their best before the award was incorporated. No, doubt it was Kapil Dev whose heroic win at the Lords in 1983 has changed the way we look at cricket. I will say that cricket got evolved in India henceforth. So, he deserves an award but an award greater than this, say, Bharat Ratna.
The award is given only to one person in a year. Yes, they made a mistake by not awarding an award to Rahul Dravid. But not let cry over spilt milk. Ever since Dhoni was named the captain of India, things started changing in Indian cricket. Remember the last Australian tour where our players showed them that we could match their attitudes on field. Remember how he leads. Sports is not just playing good on field but also how you manage yourself off the field. So, what if he is just 3 or 4 years old in Indian cricket. He had successfully led the Indian team to a victory in T20 world cup. He truly deserves this award for his performance. Let’s, not make another mistake. Or else, after a few years we would be saying again that he deserved the award but was not awarded just like Rahul Dravid (he truly deserves the award).
