Mumbai: Rohit Sharma bagged the ‘Men’s International Cricketer of the Year’ honour while Rahul Dravid was conferred with ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ on Wednesday at the CEAT Cricket Rating Awards 2023-24. Virat Kohli was named the ‘Men’s ODI Batter of the Year’ while Mohammed Shami, who was the highest wicket-taker at the 2023 ODI World Cup with 24 scalps, took the ‘ODI Bowler of the Year’ prize. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who raked up 712 runs against England during the five-Test series earlier this year, was named the ‘Men’s Test Batter of the Year’, while R. Ashwin was named the ‘Men’s Test Bowler of the Year’.
BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who was awarded for excellence in sports administration, said that the Indian teams will look to clinch more trophies in the future. “As I told you in Rajkot, that we are going to host our flag in Barbados, and our captain did that. If we have the blessing of 1.4 billion people, then we can do the same in the Champions Trophy, World Test Championship final and the Women’s T20 World Cup,” he said.
