Tuesday, test skipper Virat Kohli and star batsman Ajinkya Rahane's superlative performances were rewarded as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recommended the duo for this year's prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna and Arjuna Award respectively.
The inside sources of BCCI told media that, "Yes, the BCCI has sent its recommendations naming Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane for Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna and Arjuna Award respectively to the Sports Ministry,"
If Kohli is awarded the honour, he will become the third cricketer after Sachin Tendulkar (1997-98) and Dhoni (2007-08) to join the list of Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna awardees. Rahane, who has been nominated for the Arjuna award, has been India's batting mainstay in overseas conditions.
