The Story
Sport's Highest Recognition
"Named after hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand, this is the Government of India's highest sporting honour — awarded for the most spectacular sporting achievement over a four-year period."
The Khel Ratna Theme File covers 62 recipients across every major discipline — from Sachin Tendulkar, among the award's first honourees, to Olympic and Paralympic medallists like Abhinav Bindra, Mary Kom, and Gukesh Dommaraju, the youngest-ever undisputed World Chess Champion.
62 notes track a roster spanning cricket, athletics, shooting, wrestling, badminton, chess, and more.
"62 recipients. Every major sport India competes in, represented in one collection."
