From Rohit Sharma to Rani Rampal: List of nominated sportspersons for National Sports Awards 2020
Considering the performance over a period of four years, various sporting bodies have sent their recommendations for the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Awards and Arjuna Award for the National Sports Awards 2020.
There have been some monumental performances by Indian sportspersons in recent times, even though the last couple of months have disrupted the worldwide sporting calendar.
Nonetheless, with the Sports Ministry of India extending the deadline in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, more names could be added in the list. Individuals can also opt for self-nominations due to the challenges faced due to the dreaded virus.
