Cricket being not an international game should not be rewarded Rajib Khel Ratna award. When there is a system to follow the points are to be earned by the government, I fail to understand how a money spinner like cricket game player can be rewarded highest honor of sport awar? It must be Punia and I completely support his claim.
COurts are a very unsuitable place to settle such issues. If Punia wins a Gold or silver at the World's then his case will be very strong. He could then get it next year.
Kohli may not be more deserving, but he is today the world's No 1 batsman and so it needs a world ranking to get such awards.
Yes Mr.Punia you may have more points. Bu bBeing a mega cricket star has its own advantages and plus points. That of course is not the reason. Please understand that Mr.Kohli has been on the scene for many years now and has been contributing. You have to bring more laurels to the country and you will be rewarded. So please do not go to court on this issue and get the award by force as some have done. Please hide your time.

where from plus point comes? Virat earned zero point. and therefoe, he is not eligible for award and accordingly his candidature should be disqualified.
the matter of Bajrang Punia is genuine.I am not criticising whether Virat Kohli should get it or not ,I AM TALKING ABOUT any sports person who is involved in a globally played sports discipline and have excelled should be honoured
In a Cricket Crazy nation that is India, the story will keep repeating. The list of athletes pursuing sports other than Cricket, who never got any recognition, and were frustrated, is endless.
With due respect to Kholi & his fantastic achievements, I feel Bajrang deserves it more for his performance . I wish that Kholi himself will come forward to relinquish the award.
Because of such attitude of our governments (be it BJP or congress), sports other than cricket are not flourishing. Even said that, these sprtsmen are shining against all odds but there is a limit to injustice. Modi ji should look into this topic at his level.
