Indian spinner and CSK player Harbhajan Singh had applied for Khel Ratna Award, but unfortunately due to the delay by the Punjab government in submitting the papers, it was rejected by sports ministry.

He had pleaded with Punjab Sports Minister Rana Gurmit Singh Sodhi to look into the issue and start a inquiry. He released a video on his YouTube page where he said ""I have come to know from the media that my nomination filed by the Punjab government for the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna has been declined by the Centre with the reason being that the papers arrived quite late. I've learned that due to this delay, I won't be getting the award this year."

"I would like to plead the Sports Minister of the Punjab Government to start an inquiry into the matter as to why and how the delay occured because, as far as I can remember, I had got the forms submitted into his office by March 20, but still it got delayed. If it had been on time, I could've won the award this year."

"For every sportsperson, it's an encouragement if his performances are recognised via awards. If such delays continue to happen, a number of players might get left behind and this is not right at some level. I hope that the the minister concerned will definitely act on this and forward my nomination once again to the Centre," he said.

Looking into the issue, the Punjab government has ordered an inquiry.
