BCCI Awards: Lifetime Achievement for Ravi Shastri, Shubman Gill set to be 'Cricketer of the Year' – India TV
India TV NewsThe Board of Control for Cricket in India is set to host its second edition of the NAMAN awards, the event which was supposed to be an annual thing. Ravi Shastri and Shubman Gill are set to be honoured among other winners. Shastri, who was part of the World Cup-winning squad in 1983, turned India into a Test-playing beast overseas as head coach from the period 2018 to 2021 as the red-ball teams led by Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane saw its golden period in those few years. Shastri, who is now back to commentating across the globe, was a pioneer in India becoming a great Test-playing nation overseas, including qualification for the inaugural WTC final in 2021. Similarly, Shubman Gill, who stepped into international cricket under Shastri's stint, came into his own in 2023, scoring the most number of runs by a batsman in the whole year.
