List of Award Winners At The BCCI Naman Awards 2026
Lifetime Achievement Awards Go to Three Legends
Roger Binny took 18 wickets in the 1983 World Cup. Nobody grabbed more wickets in that tournament.
India won the final, and Binny’s contribution mattered. He later coached India’s Under-19 team to World Cup glory in 2000.
He served as a national selector from 2012 to 2016 and became BCCI President in 2022.
Rahul Dravid scored over 24,000 international runs. Then he coached. He guided India’s Under-19 side to the 2018 ICC World Cup title.
As head coach of the senior team, he won the T20 World Cup in 2024. That’s a career that spans playing at the highest level and coaching at the highest level.
Mithali Raj holds the record for most runs in women’s ODI cricket. She scored 7,805 runs at 50.68.
She captained India to two World Cup finals. Her numbers and leadership define an era of women’s cricket in India.
Both Binny and Dravid received the Col. C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award.
Raj got the BCCI Lifetime Achievement Award for Women. These are the board’s highest individual honors.
International Cricket Awards at BCCI Naman Awards 2026
Shubman Gill claimed the Polly Umrigar Award for Best International Cricketer (Men).
This is his second time winning it. Smriti Mandhana won the women’s version for the fifth time.
Five times means she’s been consistently good 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 a debut game shows composure.
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. That’s a century every four matches.
The Dilip Sardesai Awards for the India vs West Indies Test series went unclaimed because no matches were played during the period.

Domestic Cricket Standouts in BCCI Awards 2026
Harsh Dubey shows up twice on the BCCI awards list. He took 69 wickets in the Ranji Trophy at an economy of 2.66.
He also scored 476 runs. Then he won the Lala Amarnath Award for Best All-Rounder in Ranji Trophy. That’s proper all-round cricket.
Ayush Mhatre won the same award for limited-overs domestic cricket. He scored 458 runs at 65.42 with a strike rate of 135.50 and grabbed seven wickets.
Different format, similar principle. Contribute with both bat and ball.
Mumbai Cricket Association claimed the award for Best Performance in BCCI Domestic Tournaments.
They won four titles: Irani Cup, Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and Women’s U23 One Day Trophy. That’s a clean sweep across formats and age groups.
Junior Cricket Gets Recognition
Shanthanu Singh scored 947 runs at 72.85 in the U16 Vijay Merchant Trophy. His highest score was 270. That’s a big hundred in multi-day cricket at age 16.
Nitya J Pandya averaged 110.13 in the U19 Cooch Behar Trophy with four centuries in six matches.
His highest score was 265. 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.
These aren’t limited-overs bash-fests. These are proper first-class games where you bat for sessions.
Vicky Ostwal took 69 wickets in the same U23 tournament at an economy of 2.36. That’s seven five-wicket hauls in nine matches.
Women’s Domestic Cricket Awards
Ira Jadhav from Mumbai won the junior domestic award for women.
She scored 500 runs in the U19 One Day Trophy, 258 runs in the U19 T20 Trophy, and 143 runs in the U19 T20 Challenger Trophy.
That’s consistent scoring across three different tournaments.
Shafali Verma took the senior domestic award. She scored 527 runs in seven matches with two centuries and two fifties.
She also took eight wickets. She contributed with both bat and ball in domestic cricket.
The BCCI Awards 2026 recognized women’s cricket at both junior and senior domestic levels.
That’s separate awards for under-19 and senior players.
Expert Insight: What These Awards Actually Mean
Awards don’t change careers by themselves. But they show what the board values. The BCCI awards winners list covers everything from lifetime contributions to single-season domestic performances.
Roger Binny’s award recognizes work that spans playing, coaching, selection, and administration. That’s four different roles at the highest level.
Rahul Dravid’s award covers playing and coaching. Mithali Raj’s award honors both her record-breaking batting and her leadership.
The domestic awards matter because they shine a light on performances that don’t get much attention. Most people follow IPL or international cricket.
But someone like Harsh Dubey, taking 69 wickets in the Ranji Trophy deserves recognition. That’s hard work on pitches that don’t always help bowlers.
Shubman Gill winning the Polly Umrigar Award twice before age 26 is notable. He’s not flashy every game. But he shows up and scores runs across formats. That’s consistency.
Smriti Mandhana winning the women’s award five times says something about her sustained excellence. She doesn’t have one good year. She has multiple good years in a row.
The junior awards give teenagers something to aim for. Scoring 947 runs in the U16 Vijay Merchant Trophy doesn’t guarantee you’ll make it to the national team. But it shows you can handle multi-day cricket at that level.
