So if you couldn’t do it and Prime Minister has done it so he has done the right thing and the entire country is proud of it and will support this. This is what should have happened when this award was started,” said Gambhir. “I am sure they understand the meaning of what is the difference between stadium and awards.

Awards are different and stadiums are different,” he added.
