Rahul Dravid, Roger Binny, and Mithali Raj are among the legendary cricketers who will be honoured with lifetime achievement awards at the annual BCCI Naman Awards. The awards will be held in Delhi on Sunday, the 15th of March. The Indian cricket board announced that, along with the three lifetime achievement award winners, it will also reward players from different age groups in domestic and international cricket.
Rahul Dravid, Roger Binny, and Mithali Raj to be honoured with Lifetime Achievement Awards
Rahul Dravid has been one of the finest servants of Indian cricket. His cricketing career alone was worthy of a lifetime achievement award. However, after finishing his playing career, Dravid coached the Under-19 Indian team before stepping up to become head coach of the senior team, with whom he won the T20 World Cup in 2024.
Roger Binny was one of the most vital cogs of the Indian team that went on to win the Cricket World Cup in 1983. The all-rounder finished as the highest wicket-taker in the edition as India lifted their first World Cup. Like Dravid, Binny has held multiple roles within the team and the BCCI after retiring. He was the head-coach of the U-19 team in 2000 and even served as the chief selector of the men’s team and the BCCI president.
Mithali Raj’s name has been synonymous with Women’s cricket in India. The right-handed batter is considered the greatest female batter for India. She represented the country across formats in 333 games, in a career spanning 23 years. With over 10,000 runs across formats, Raj will be honoured with the lifetime achievement award from the BCCI on Sunday.
Shubman Gill and Smriti Mandhana named best international players
Shubman Gill and Smriti Mandhana are set to be named the best international players in the 2024-25 season. Gill had a prolific year in 2025 while leading the Indian team in England in five tests. The visitors drew the series, with the skipper being named the player of the series. He was the top scorer in the series with 754 runs in 10 innings with four centuries to his name.
Mandhana, on the other hand, scored the most runs in the Women’s ODI World Cup for India as the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side went on to win the tournament for the first time. In the year 2025, the left-handed batter scored 1,362 runs in 23 ODI innings, ending the year with an average of more than 60 while striking at close to 110.
