Today's news headlines screamed about Dhoni being honoured with the Khel Ratna Award.
He is the second cricketer in our country to be awarded after Sachin Tendulkar.
What makes one wonder is, if he really deserves it more than others.....when some legendary bowlers and batsmen (who have contributed in many more wonderful ways making us a proud cricketing nation) ,were either not even nominated or were simply denied.
Dhoni might have won us the first T-20 World cup (It was a trial version,u rememeber,whereas Kapil Dev won us the Prudential World cup in the approved format) ,he might have appealed to the masses because of his attitude, and might have been in every possible advertisement that can afford his huge price tag, and he might have even denied going on tour to Sri Lanka because hes simply tired.
Probably Dhoni has all the stars in his favour. Good for him.

u r rite.
kapildev won us the world cup
people played their hearts out for our country for years
and finally Dhoni takes it.
I think this is the norm of our country in giving away awards ex. Most of our freedom fighters are yet to get Bharatratna and many of our contemporaries are already in the list of contenders.
thats the way i think
