by Awards ceremonies don’t change careers. But sometimes they pause the game long enough to recognize the people who built it.
The BCCI did that on March 15, 2026, in New Delhi.
The list of award winners at the BCCI Naman Awards 2026 covered 33 categories, from Roger Binny’s 1983 World Cup heroics to Shanthanu Singh’s 947 runs in under-16 cricket.
Some names carried decades of work. Others just finished their first standout season.
The board handed out trophies for both.
List of Award Winners At The BCCI Naman Awards 2026
Lifetime Achievement Awards Go to Three Cricket Careers
Roger Binny grabbed 18 wickets in the 1983 World Cup. That was more than anyone else in the tournament. India won that final.
His seam bowling played a part when it mattered. Then he coached India’s Under-19 team to a World Cup in 2000.
He served as a national selector from 2012 to 2016 and became BCCI President in 2022. That’s four different roles at the highest level.
Rahul Dravid scored 24,000-plus international runs. After retiring, he coached. He guided India’s Under-19 team to the 2018 ICC World Cup title.
Then he took over the senior team as head coach and won the T20 World Cup in 2024. Playing at the top level is hard. Coaching at the top level is hard. He handled both.
Mithali Raj scored 7,805 runs in women’s ODI cricket at an average of 50.68. That’s still the record. She captained India to two World Cup finals.
Her batting and leadership shaped an entire generation of women’s cricket in India.
Binny and Dravid each received the Col. C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, the BCCI’s highest honor. Raj got the BCCI Lifetime Achievement Award for Women.
International Cricket Winners at BCCI Awards 2026
Shubman Gill won the Polly Umrigar Award for Best International Cricketer (Men) for the second time.
He’s 25. That’s two wins before most players hit their peak. Smriti Mandhana claimed the women’s version for the fifth time.
Winning once is good. Winning five times means you’ve been India’s best women’s cricketer for years.
Harshit Rana got the Best International Debut award for men. N Sree Charani won it for women after taking 4/12 on T20I debut against England in Nottingham.
Four wickets for 12 runs in your first international game shows you can handle the moment.
Deepti Sharma topped the wicket charts in women’s ODI cricket with 37 wickets at 26.81 in 24 matches.
Smriti Mandhana led the run charts with 1311 runs at 54.62, including six centuries. A century every four matches shows consistency, not just one big score.
The Dilip Sardesai Awards for the India vs West Indies Test series remained unclaimed because no matches were played during the award period.

Domestic Cricket Recognition in the BCCI Awards Winners List
Harsh Dubey’s name appears twice on the BCCI awards winners list. He took 69 wickets in the Ranji Trophy at an economy of 2.66 with seven five-wicket hauls.
His best figures were 6/36. He also scored 476 runs. That earned him the Lala Amarnath Award for Best All-Rounder in Ranji Trophy.
Taking seven wickets per match on average in the Ranji Trophy isn’t happening on green tops. Most pitches in India flatten out after the first session.
Spinners bowl long spells and wait for rough patches or tired batsmen. Dubey did that for 10 matches straight.
Ayush Mhatre from Mumbai won the same award for limited-overs domestic cricket.
He scored 458 runs at 65.42 with a strike rate of 135.50 and took seven wickets. That’s scoring quickly while also contributing with the ball.
Mumbai’s Clean Sweep Across Formats
Mumbai Cricket Association won the award for Best Performance in BCCI Domestic Tournaments after claiming four titles:
- Irani Cup
- Senior Women’s T20 Trophy
- Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
- Women’s U23 One Day Trophy
That’s dominance across both men’s and women’s cricket in different formats. You don’t win four different tournaments without depth at every level.
Ira Jadhav from Mumbai won the junior domestic award for women.
She scored 500 runs in the U19 One Day Trophy, 258 in the U19 T20 Trophy, and 143 in the U19 T20 Challenger Trophy.
That’s 901 runs across three competitions in one season.
Junior Cricket Numbers That Stand Out
Shanthanu Singh scored 947 runs at 72.85 in the U16 Vijay Merchant Trophy with a highest score of 270.
That’s not a quick-fire T20 innings. That’s proper multi-day cricket where you bat for sessions.
Pritam Raj from Bihar scored 304 not out in the same tournament.
A triple century at the under-16 level in the Plate group still requires technique.
The bowling might be weaker, but you still need to bat for hours.
Nitya J Pandya averaged 110.13 in the U19 Cooch Behar Trophy with four centuries in six matches.
His highest score was 265. Averaging above 110 means you’re getting out less than once every hundred runs you score.
Macneil H N topped the run charts in the U23 Col. C.K. Nayudu Trophy with 1037 runs at 79.77.
His highest score was 345. That’s a triple century in proper first-class cricket, where bowlers get multiple chances at you.
Vicky Ostwal took 69 wickets in the same U23 tournament at an economy of 2.36.
Seven five-wicket hauls in nine matches mean he was breaking partnerships nearly every game.
Women’s Cricket Gets Multiple Award Categories
The BCCI Awards 2026 included separate categories for women’s cricket at different levels.
Shafali Verma won the senior domestic award after scoring 527 runs in seven matches with two centuries and two fifties.
She also took eight wickets. That’s contributing with both bat and ball.
Deepti Sharma’s 37 wickets in women’s ODI cricket came at 26.81 in 24 matches. That’s better than one wicket per match on average.
Smriti Mandhana’s 1311 runs at 54.62 with six centuries show she wasn’t just getting starts. She was converting them into big scores.
N Sree Charani’s 4/12 on T20I debut against England in Nottingham came away from home against an aggressive batting lineup.
Taking four wickets in your first international game shows you can handle the pressure.
Expert Insight: What the Numbers Don’t Show
Roger Binny’s 18 wickets in the 1983 World Cup happened when Indian cricket wasn’t dominant.
That context matters. His seam bowling helped India win their first World Cup when nobody expected it.
Rahul Dravid’s move from playing to coaching isn’t common. Most great players struggle as coaches.
He scored 24,000 runs, then won a World Cup as head coach. Those are different skill sets. Both require excellence.
Harsh Dubey taking 69 wickets in the Ranji Trophy needs context.
Indian pitches don’t help spinners much in the first two days. He bowled long spells on tracks that flattened out. That’s work.
Shubman Gill winning the Polly Umrigar Award twice before age 26 shows consistency.
He’s not flashy every game. He shows up and grinds out runs across formats. That’s harder than one brilliant year.
Smriti Mandhana winning five times means sustained excellence.
You don’t win five Best International Cricketer awards by having one good season. That takes years of consistent performance.
The junior awards give teenagers recognition for work that doesn’t get media coverage.
Shanthanu Singh’s 947 runs in the U16 Vijay Merchant Trophy came in multi-day matches. That’s patience and technique, not just talent.
Mumbai winning four domestic titles shows system depth.
You can’t dominate across formats and age groups without a good coaching structure at every level. That doesn’t happen by accident.
