New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took a cue from the NBA and NFL in presenting the members of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 winning squad with special customised ‘champions’ rings. The rings were presented to the players during the BCCI Naman Awards ceremony that took place in Mumbai on February 01.
Several members of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 winning squad were present at the BCCI Naman Awards last week, including former T20I skipper Rohit Sharma and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya. The awards were also graced by some of the legends of Indian cricket like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri among others.
While the players received the ‘champions’ rings during the awards ceremony, it was only on Friday, February 07 that the BCCI released a video to give a full view of the ring. The rings presented to the players were customised with their names and their jersey numbers. The rings made of gold and studded with diamonds also have the Ashoka chakra engraved on top along with the contributions made by each player during India’s successful T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.
“Diamonds may be forever, but this win certainly is immortalised in a billion hearts. These memories will ‘Ring’ loud and live with us forever,” BCCI captioned the video on their X handle. The likes of Rohit, Hardik, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashavsi Jaiswal, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh and Sanju Samson were presented with their rings during the awards ceremony.
