"WFI has prepared the list for this year's awards. Final approval to be given tomorrow by WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh," a source within WFI told ANI.
Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award is given for the spectacular and outstanding performance in the field of sports by a sportsperson over a period of four years.
