Karan The BCCI stopped properly recognizing its people on March 15, 2026. Not the loudest names or the flashiest careers.
The board handed out awards to players who earned them through years of work, some at the highest level and others grinding through domestic cricket.
New Delhi hosted the 2026 edition. The list of award winners at the BCCI Naman Awards 2026 spans everything from lifetime achievement honors to junior domestic performances.
Roger Binny and Rahul Dravid each received the Col. C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award.
Mithali Raj got the BCCI Lifetime Achievement Award for Women.
Shubman Gill claimed the Polly Umrigar Award for Best International Cricketer (Men) for the second time.
List of Award Winners At The BCCI Naman Awards 2026
Roger Binny, Rahul Dravid Get Lifetime Achievement Honors
Binny’s contribution stretches back to 1983. He took 18 wickets in that World Cup, the most by anyone in the tournament. India won the final.
Then he coached the Under-19 team to a World Cup title in 2000. He served as a national selector from 2012 to 2016 and became BCCI President in 2022.
Dravid played 24,000 international runs across formats. He coached India’s Under-19 side to the 2018 ICC World Cup title.
Then he took over the senior team and won the T20 World Cup in 2024. His work spans playing, mentoring, and coaching at the top level.
Raj scored 7,805 ODI runs at 50.68. That’s still the most runs in women’s ODI cricket. She captained India to two World Cup finals.
Her award recognizes both her playing record and what she did for women’s cricket in India.
Shubman Gill Wins Polly Umrigar Award Again
Gill has won the Polly Umrigar Award for Best International Cricketer twice now.
Smriti Mandhana took the women’s version for the fifth time. That’s consistency at the international level, year after year.

He scored 458 runs at 65.42 with a strike rate of 135.50 and took seven wickets.

Domestic Cricket Dominance in the BCCI Awards List
Mumbai Cricket Association won the award for Best Performance in BCCI Domestic Tournaments 2024-25.
They took four titles: the Irani Cup, Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and Women’s U23 One Day Trophy. That’s rare.
Vidarbha’s Harsh Dubey won two separate awards. He grabbed 69 wickets in the Ranji Trophy with an economy of 2.66 and added 476 runs.
He also won the Lala Amarnath Award for Best All-Rounder in Ranji Trophy.
Ira Jadhav from Mumbai earned the junior domestic award for women.
She piled up 500 runs in the U19 One Day Trophy, 258 in the U19 T20 Trophy, and 143 more in the U19 T20 Challenger Trophy.
That’s consistent scoring across formats at the junior level.
Under-Age Performers Who Got Recognized
The Naman Awards 2026 winners list includes several under-age category champions.
Shanthanu Singh scored 947 runs at 72.85 in the U16 Vijay Merchant Trophy with a highest score of 270.
Nitya J Pandya averaged 110.13 in the U19 Cooch Behar Trophy with four centuries.
Vicky Ostwal took 69 wickets in the U23 Col. C.K. Nayudu Trophy.
Macneil H N scored 1037 runs at 79.77 in the same tournament with a highest score of 345.
These numbers came in proper multi-day cricket, not limited-overs bash-fests.
The BCCI Awards 2026 recognized domestic performances that don’t always get attention.
Most fans follow IPL or international cricket.
But domestic tournaments produce the players who eventually make it to those levels.
Women’s Cricket Gets Multiple Categories
Smriti Mandhana won the Best International Cricketer award for women for the fifth time.
She also topped the run charts in women’s ODI cricket with 1311 runs at 54.62. Six centuries in 24 matches is high-level consistency.
Deepti Sharma took 37 wickets in women’s ODIs at 26.81.
Shafali Verma got the senior domestic award after scoring 527 runs with two centuries and two fifties, plus eight wickets.
She contributed with both bat and ball.
N Sree Charani won the Best International Debut award for women.
She took 4/12 on her T20I debut against England in Nottingham.
That’s a proper performance under pressure in a debut game.
My Take
The BCCI awards list shows how deep Indian cricket goes. You’ve got lifetime achievement awards for people who shaped the game over decades.
Then you’ve got junior domestic awards for teenagers still figuring out how to handle four-day cricket.
What stands out is the range. Roger Binny’s 1983 World Cup contribution sits next to Ayush Mhatre’s domestic all-round performance in 2024-25.
Mithali Raj’s 7,805 ODI runs get recognized alongside Ira Jadhav’s junior tournaments. The game needs both.
Harsh Dubey’s 69 wickets in the Ranji Trophy deserve attention. That’s more than one wicket per innings across 10 matches.
He bowled long spells on pitches that probably didn’t help him much. Spin bowling in domestic cricket still requires work and patience.
Shubman Gill winning the Polly Umrigar Award twice before turning 26 says something about his consistency.
He’s not flashy every game, but he shows up and scores runs across formats. That’s what separates good players from great ones.
