Ex-India Star Schooled On Social Media Over Wrong 'R Ashwin Padma Shri' Claim

Former Indian cricket team spinner R Ashwin was awarded the Padma Shri award as the final list of 139 individuals was unveiled for the coveted civilian awards on Saturday. Ashwin's former teammate Subramaniam Badrinath took to social media to congratulate the spinner on his massive achievement. "First TN cricketer to get a Padma Shri. Can't ask for a better role model for any youngster, feeling proud, truly deserved @ashwinravi99," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). However, he was corrected by another former cricketer WV Raman who pointed out that Ashwin was not the first Tamil Nadu cricketer to be awarded Padma Shri. Legendary spinner Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan was awarded the Padma Shri in 2003 - a fact that WV Raman pointed out in his reply on social media.

Everything Was Planned So That I Cannot Take Any Action, Alleges Yogesh Kathuniya Over Khel Ratna Snub

Reflecting on his decision to move the court over his exclusion from the list of Khel Ratna Awardees for 2024, two-time Paralympic silver medallist Yogesh Kathuniya has claimed that the National Sports Awards list was released on January 2, deliberately coinciding with the week when the courts were closed, alleging that this timing was planned to prevent him from taking any action. Paris Paralympics 2024 silver medallist Kathuniya, who was earlier conferred the Arjuna Award for winning a silver medal in the men's discus throw F56 event at the 2020 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo, had approached the Delhi High Court challenging his non-inclusion in the list of awardees of the Major Dhyanchand Khel Ratna Award for 2024.
