Suryakumar Yadav-led India's T20 World Cup 2026 winning side will be honoured by the Board of Control for Cricket in India during the annual BCCI Naman Awards in New Delhi on Sunday. One of the key highlights of the Naman Awards 2026 will be the felicitation of all five Indian teams that recently won ICC trophies, something that will happen for the first time.
The team coached by Gautam Gambhir created history by winning the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final held in Ahmedabad on March 8. With that win, India became the first team to win the T20 World Cup three times, the first to successfully defend the title, and the first to achieve this on home soil.
How Rohit, Virat will be honoured by BCCI
Apart from the men’s team, several other Indian sides that won ICC tournaments will also be honoured at the ceremony. These include the senior women’s team that won the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, the men’s team that lifted the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the team that won the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2026, and the women’s team that won the ICC Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup 2025. Notably, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were the part of India's Champions Trophy 2025 winning side.
