Hyderabad hosted the BCCI Awards 2024 event on Tuesday.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, the nation’s cricket governing body, has been hosting the BCCI Awards every year since 2006–07 as a way to recognise and thank exceptional players from the previous year.
It also grants additional distinctions, such as Lifetime Achievement awards, to a few chosen people annually.
On the other hand, the BCCI Awards have not taken place since 2019.
The winners of every award for the previous four years were announced at the glamorous ceremony in Hyderabad, where representatives of the men’s and women’s Indian cricket teams were present, marking the event’s return in 2024. Among the visitors were Virat Kohli and skipper Rohit Sharma.
The main prizes presented at the function were the Best International Cricketer of the Year (men), also known as the Polly Umrigar Award in recognition of the Best International Cricketer of the Year (women) and the renowned former Indian cricket player.
The 2019–20 season saw the selection of Mohammed Shami, a master pacer, as the Best International Cricketer of the Year (men), while the 2020–21 season had the selection of spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
The 2021–22 Polly Umrigar Award went to Mumbai pacer Jasprit Bumrah, while the 2022–23 Best International Cricketer of the Year (men) went to youthful opener Shubman Gill.
The four prizes for Best International Cricketer of the Year (women) were split between Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma. Smriti received recognition for her efforts with the Indian women’s cricket team in 2020–21 and 2021–22, while Deepti received recognition for 2019–20 and 2022–23.
Meanwhile, Yashaswi Jaiswal, a young batting star, won the Best International Debut (men) title in the most recent (2022–2023) season. After Mayank Agarwal, Axar Patel, and Shreyas Iyer, there was the gold medal winner of the Asian Games.
