Following her return from Gold Coast, the 22-year-old was recommended by the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) for the prestigious Arjuna Award.
Batra - who returned from CWG'18 as the only quadruple medallist engraved her name in history by single-handedly helping India clinch the maiden team gold medal before she could bag herself another gold in the singles - which was also another first.
The paddler along with her coach Sandeep Gupta was also honoured by the Delhi Police in a ceremonial greeting ceremony post her return from the CWG 2018.
