Arjuna Award to Ajinkya Rahane
* India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane will receive the 2016 Arjuna Award for his contribution to sport
* Rahane is perhaps one of the most consistent batsmen in the Indian batting lineup at the moment and it remains to be seen what the 27-year old can achieve from here.
* Apurvi Chandela, Lalita Babar, and Shiva Thapa are among the other awardees.
* The 27-year old Ajinkya Rahane grabbed all the headlines when he smashed his seventh and eighth century in the ongoing series against the West Indies. Although Rahane has not really been challenged by a West Indies side that is going through a terrible transition at the moment, one thing that is clear is the fact that Rahane is as tough as nails and has showcased a combination of grit and character in the past.
* His nomination has also been well received by many especially those who are a fan of his soft personality and gritty batting abilities. In a nutshell, he is clearly the incarnation of Rahul Dravid in the Indian cricket team at the moment.
* The awards will be conferred by the President Pranab Mukherjee on August 29, the National Sports Day.
