M.S. Dhoni deserv for Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award.?

Question

my personnel point of view say

MS Dhoni still not deserve for Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award.

Answer 1

may at least it could encourage him and keep him in high spirits.so,let it it deserve him.

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Dhoni doesn't deserve it at all..............the seniors namely rahul dravid, ganguly, kumble haven't got it........the committee is out of its mind to give it to him before they gave these guys

sumone said that dravid, kumble and ganguly were rejected well yes its true but tht's coz they didn't perform in the recent test series. otherwise just tell me can you overlook their contributions to indian cricket

kumble is a world class player, an amazing bowler..... batsmen around the globe used to succumb to him

dravid- his actions speak louder than words.........steve waugh has considered him as the danger man so many times

he'z the wall of indian cricket..........he'z got so many credits to his name........he is a good bowler (check in some sites, there will be a mention), he'z an amazing batsman, an amazing wicket keeper and an outstanding fielder.........holds the record for most number of catches!!!! ISN'T HE ELLIGIBLE

ganguly- another tremendous guy, excellent batsman, good bowler

                one of the most successful captains of india

aren't these guys eligible

CAN THEY BE OVERLOOKED?????

how many times, kumble has taken wickets and saved the match

how many times saurav being captain has brought a smile to our faces on seeing india win the match

how many dravid has single- handedly won matches for us (remember he was the top scorer for india during second innings of both the second and third test in SL)

HOW CAN YOU FORGET THESE LEGENDS WHO WERE THE CRAZE AMONG THE BOYS AND THE GIRLZ ONCE UPON A TIME

AND ARE STILL THE BEST

Dhoni may have won the t-20 worold cup for us but he'z not the only one who went and won it

india won as a team then they should given the honours as a team why only him

DHONI PLAYS FOR MONEY NOT FOR OUR COUNTRY

HIS EGO IS BEYONG WORDS

THE COMMITTEE MADE A BIG MISTAKE BY GIVING HIM THE KHEL RATNA.HE'Z SO CONCEITED HE WENT TO THE LEVEL OF GETTING THE SENIORS OUT OF THE TEAM

HE DOESN'T DESERVE IT.........

Answer 4

I can't answer this from an Indian perspective, but as an Englishman I enjoyed that 91 he scored from 82 balls in last years test series in England, (through gritted teeth of course!)

Answer 5

M.S dhoni is certainly good, but i think its too early to give him the Rajeev Gandhi Khel Ratna Award.

i agree, he won the T20 world cup for us, but what about Sourav Ganguly who lead india to the Main world cup Finals in 2003.

I am surprised to know that Rahul and sourav still have'nt got it!

i think that we need to felicitate people like Rahul and Sourav before Dhoni.

Answer 6

hello my fellow INDIANS....

I hope u people will remember this answer for ur whole life ok?

who is ABHINAV BINDRA before 2001 ?

how many records he got before 2001?

yes,he was selected for khel ratna in 2001...n u know evryone  even the present sport  minister  CRITISIZED this.....but what happened now ??

he is the only GOLD MEDALIST for India !! now ppl worshipping him like a god !

ok,leave Abhinav Bindra...lets talk abt SACHIN TENDULKAR..

i think he got Khel ratna award in 1998...but let me tell u tht he achieved more success than before 1998 ..

he got the highest number of hundreds in test cricket after 1998

--------------------------------------...

so my opinion is Khel Ratna will be given to a person who got the good Qualities as a sports person

and ALL GANGULY,DRAVID ,ANIL KUMBLE fans...may be u donno but these players names were also submitted but the committe rejected them...n i strongly support da khel ratna for Dhoni coz HE IS A ICON PLAYER for evryone....coming frm poor background and achieving success is NEVER easy, like sitting here n commenting on others

another important point is tht IF A TEAM ACHIEVES SUCCESS definetly da credit goes to CAPTAIN of the team ..for instance evryones says tht RICKY PONTING is a great captain but he is NOTHING without gilly,mr.cricket,warne,Binga

Answer 7

he absolutely DOESN'T deserve this huge honour........I mean, what has he done so far in his career ...... just smack the ball..thats all......while he have other gr88 players like Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble who doesn't receive the award even after devoting their entire life for this wonderful game........and Rahul would have definitely received it if it wasn't for BCCI who messed it all up....Shame on you BCCI..

Answer 8

He doesn't deserve the award !

Answer 9

i think he is

Answer 10

yes i too dont think but i have put some reference for you why he deserve.

Answer 11

Personally i agree with you, he has not done anything close to  merit it.

yes he was the captain of T20 winning side, but the young guns took us to victory, it was a team effort and to just reward a captain alone with national award is just not fair.

Answer 12

He doesn't deserve this award at all.It should go to either senior cricketer or Olympic gold medallist bindra.It is this mindset of our politicians for honouring cricketers not eligible for awards instead of Olympic medallists that India performs poorely in other sports.

Answer 13

I AGREE WITH YOU

THERE ARE OTHER PLAYERS ALSO WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR LIFETIME IN THIS FIELD

LET ME TELL YOU 1 THING,

ACCORDING TO ME, MS DHONI PLAYS FOR MONEY,NOT FOR THE COUNTRY

Answer 14

I don't think MS Dhoni deserves ahead of the likes of Ganguly or Dravid or Kumble. You cannot blandly say he does not deserve.

pkjain,

Note that Khel Ratna was instituted during 1991-92 season, & takes into account the previous season's performance i.e. from 01 April of previous year to 31 Mar of the that year (MS Dhoni was awarded for his for his performance from 01 April 2007 to 31 March 2008), so those players you mentioned do not qualify for Khel Ratna.

Answer 15

Absolutely! MS Dhoni has done nothing so far to make him eligible for the highest sporting honour-the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award. There are other cricketer who have done more than him, yet they are yet to be given proper recognition for their contribution. Why is Dhoni's T20 world cup victory, (which is perhaps his only significant contribution other than the CB series victory) rewarded so lavishly, and the contributions of the legends like Ganguly, Kumble, and Dravid always ignored? It's definitely a biased judgement on the part of BCCI. Besides, the T20 WC victory was possible because of the brilliant performance of the entire team-not only of the skipper Dhoni. But it's only MSD who is getting rewarded!

It's a joke that a player like Dhoni gets chosen for that award! Dhoni had a lot to achieve, and to prove his worth before he truly deserved that award

Answer 16

NO he does not deserve it so early in his career. I want to tell everyone that it was KAPIL DEV who got us our first world cup. Have you forgotten those players who got us 8 gold medals in hockey in OLYMPICS?

Answer 17

I dont think he deserve it before Rahul Dravid, Saurav Ganguli n Anil Kumble
