Manu Bhaker will get Khel Ratna and D Gukesh will also be honored with the biggest award.

Shooter Manu Bhaker, who won 2 bronze medals for the country in the Paris Olympics, will be given the Khel Ratna award. Along with her, world champion chess player D Gukesh will also be honored with the Khel Ratna.

Earlier, there were reports that Manu Bhaker's name was not selected for the Khel Ratna, but all those reports have been rejected and now this legendary player is going to receive the country's biggest sports award. Manu Bhaker won bronze medals in 10-meter air pistol and 25-meter air pistol in the Paris Olympics. She is the first Indian to win two medals in the same Olympics.

Chess player D Gukesh will also be honored with the Khel Ratna Award. Gukesh achieved the distinction of becoming the world champion of chess on 12 December last month. In the World Championship held in Singapore, Gukesh won the title by defeating China's Ding Liren. He became the world champion at the age of just 18, which is a world record.
