Khel Ratna the most prestigeious award for sports person in India has been conferred to Dhoni for leading India to the T20 World Cup victory and recent ODI series victory. Happy that after Sachin a cricketer is getting this award and it should do a lot of good to Dhoni's confidence. Thanks to BCCI for getting this award to a cricketer.
IMHO its too big an award too early in his carrier. I just can not think that he is greater player than the stalwarts like Sunil Gavasker, KapilDev, Vishwanath,Rahul Dravid, Saurav, Kumble and many more to name who have acheived a lot for the sport. Cricket being a team game and winning a T20 world cup should not have been the criteria for this award. Its pretty early days in his carrier and this award is too big for him.
England runs out of choice to make Kevin Peterson the captaincy, I think Strauss would have been the correct choice with the experience and maturity he has shown over the years of good and bad form. Peterson is a free flowing batsmen and england is adding to the pressure already on him to perform all the time he walks to the field. It should not be any big pressure for both the teams as the series has already been decided.
