CEAT Cricket Rating Awards: The 27th edition of the CEAT Cricket Rating (CCR) Awards celebrated another remarkable year in world cricket, bringing together some of the sport's biggest names and brightest talents under one roof.
Hosted by CEAT, one of India's leading tyre manufacturers, the event once again stood out as a prestigious occasion that honours excellence and consistency across all formats of the game.
The evening in Mumbai was graced by legends, rising stars, and dignitaries from the cricketing and corporate worlds. It was a night that reflected the true spirit of cricket - passion, perseverance, and sportsmanship.
Harsh Goenka, Chairman of RPG Group, expressed his pride in the awards' legacy, saying, "Each edition of the CCR Awards
is a reminder of cricket's enduring charm. It's not just about numbers but about stories of grit and greatness. We're proud to honour those who continue to inspire millions. "
Former India captain and Chief Adjudicator Sunil Gavaskar also praised the awards for maintaining credibility over nearly three decades, adding, "What makes CEAT Awards special is their integrity. The winners truly represent the best of world cricket, having displayed skill, courage, and composure in equal measure. "
The night's biggest honours went to cricketing legends Brian Lara and B.S. Chandrasekhar, both of whom received the CEAT Lifetime Achievement Awards. Lara, visibly moved, remarked, "It's an honour to be remembered this way. Every innings I played was a reflection of my passion for cricket, and this recognition brings it all back. "
Among the Indian winners, Rohit Sharma was felicitated with a special memento for leading India to the Champions Trophy 2025 victory, while Shreyas Iyer was recognised for scoring the highest runs by an Indian in the tournament.
