The voices are gaining momentum and people from all fields are now demanding Bharat Ratna for the Cricket God Sachin Tendulkar. Earlier MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan demanded Bharat Ratna for the master but now even hockey players like Viren Rasquinha and Dhanraj Pillay are batting for the highest civilian award for the master blaster.

Earlier Dhoni commented on whether Sachin should get Bharat Ratna “Yes, 200 per cent, because he is an ideal candidate, he has served the country for 21 years with a few more to come. As a cricketer, you know, if he doesn’t get it, then I don’t think there’s anyone who’ll get the Bharat Ratna ever.”
