Two-time Olympic bronze medallist Hardik Singh has been recommended for the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna, the country’s highest sporting honour.

The sports ministry panel also recommended 24 sportspersons for the Arjuna Awards, including Tejaswin Shankar, Priyanka, Vidit Gujrathi, Divya Deshmukh, Mehuli Ghosh, and badminton pair Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand. No cricketer was shortlisted this year.
