Mumbai: In a star-studded event, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recognized the exceptional career of Ravi Shastri and former India wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer with the prestigious Col CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award.

Ravi Shastri, a cricketing luminary with a multifaceted career, expressed his gratitude for the honor, describing the triumph at Australia’s Gabba as the “icing on the cake” in his illustrious journey. The ceremony, held in Mumbai, celebrated the top performers in men’s and women’s cricket from the 2019-20 season, highlighting their exceptional achievements on the cricketing stage.
