Why did Rohit Sharma not get Padmashree award?

Actually, the winners of Padma Awards are honored in different phases. In this sequence, 66 celebrities of the country were honored in the first phase. The President gave 2 Padma Vibhushan, 6 Padma Bhushan and 58 Padma Shri awards in the first phase. During this, women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur was honored with Padma Shri in sports. In such a situation, the news of former Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma being absent from the Padma Shri award ceremony surprised the fans.

However, Rohit could not appear in the first list due to scheduling reasons. In such a situation, he can come to receive honors in the second phase. Let us tell you, Padma Awards are always distributed in several phases. Ceremonies for different batches are organized at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Those who cannot get time on the first date are called on a later date. Same is the case with Rohit.
