The All India Gaming Federation (AIGF) has written a letter to Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, requesting him to recognize Indian captain Virat Kohli's efforts for the national side and considering him for the Bharat Ratna, India's highest honour.

The 30-year-old Kohli recently became just the fifth Indian batsman to complete 10,000 ODI runs and has been in a great run of form over the last two years.

In 2014, Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar was conferred the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, for his services to the nation, months after he retired from the game.

"It's the biggest honour for me and I am extremely delighted on receiving the Bharat Ratna," Tendulkar had said.

In 2017, Kohli was conferred the Padma Shri.
