Every step I took to improve my game was aimed at taking India&#39;s name to a higher level. Till the time my body allows, I will continue to do so, and by God&#39;s grace after that as well,&quot; the Indian pacer said in a statement put out on his official Twitter handle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 31-year-old, who has played 97 Tests, 80 ODIs and 14 T20Is for India, is one of the 27 sportspersons who have been bestowed upon with the Arjuna Award this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I sincerely thank the ministry (sports) for this recognition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Lastly, a huge shootout to BCCI for giving monumental support in this journey and the journey going forward. Not to forget, congratulations to all the fellow Arjuna Awardees,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ishant is currently in the UAE with his Delhi Capitals teammates for of the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) slated to start from September 19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Along with Ishant, Rohit Sharma has been conferred with the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award while women&#39;s team all-rounder Deepti Sharma won the Arjuna Award.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The award ceremony was held virtually at the Rashtrapati Bhawan due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\r\n",
