BCCI Awards: Shubman Gill honoured with Cricketer of the Year, Ravi Shastri gets Lifetime Achievement Award
The Board of Control Cricket in India (BCCI) 2024 awards ceremony will takes place in Hyderabad on Tuesday (January 23), 2 days before the first Test against England (January 25).
The BCCI awards ceremony is taking place after 4 years and first time in the post-Covid era. This means the winners are given awards for the last 4 years.
Report in the medai stated that the Indian former head coach Ravi Shastri will be given the lifetime achievement award. While, Mumbai cricketers Sarfaraz Khan and Shams Mulani are given the highest run getters and wicket takes in the 2023 Ranji Trophy.
All are excited on the Polly Umrigar Internatioanl Cricketer of the Year award. Most fans are expecting that Virat Kohli can get the award. Kohli is likely to miss first 2 Tests versus England due to personal reasons.
Indian top order batter Shubman Gill will receive the Cricketer of the Year award, recognizing his impressive performance in the past 12 months.
“He (Shastri) has been chosen for the honour while Gill will be awarded the cricketer of the year,” said a BCCI official.
Apart from the lifetime achievement award, the Polly Umrigar Award for best men’s international cricketer, the best international cricketer in women’s cricket for India, best umpire and best domestic side awards are likely to be handed over by the BCCI on Tuesday.
