The Maharashtra Government rewarding the Indian players who won the recent ICC T20 World Cup with Rs 11 crore is to be lauded too. Chirag Shetty, who was part of the Indian badminton team that won the Thomas Cup, a couple of years ago, was quite right in asking why he and his teammates weren’t given anything by the Government. 

In my book, the Thomas Cup win is as good if not better than the T20 World Cup win and should have been recognised too. It’s not the amount but the recognition that matters.
