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 honouring excellence and consistency across all formats of the game.
The evening in Mumbai was graced by legends, rising stars, and dignitaries from both the cricketing and corporate worlds. The event reflected the true spirit of cricket, celebrating passion, perseverance, and sportsmanship in the sport.
"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,” said Harsh Goenka, Chairman of RPG Group.
"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,” said Chief Adjudicator Sunil Gavaskar.
The night’s biggest honours went to cricketing legends Brian Lara and B. S. Chandrasekhar, both of whom received the CEAT Lifetime Achievement Awards. 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.
"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,” said Lara.
In the women’s categories, Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma bagged the top honours for their stellar international performances. The ceremony will air on Star Sports and JioHotstar on October 10, immediately following the India vs West Indies Test.
