Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Likely to Attend
The NAMAN Awards 2026 will likely have several of India’s greatest cricket players in attendance including senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
They both were key members of the Indian team that won the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy so they will add plenty of star power to the event assuming they can make it.
Rohit Sharma was recently spotted during the latter part of the T20 World Cup 2026, which was held as a brand ambassador, during the semi-finals and finals of the tournament.
Cricket Legends Could Also Grace the Event
The ceremony might also see appearances from former Indian captain MS Dhoni, who was spotted in the stands during the final stages of the T20 World Cup.
Meanwhile, current India head coach Gautam Gambhir might also attend the ceremony, especially since the ceremony is taking place in his hometown.
Record Prize Money for T20 World Cup Champions
In a bid to celebrate India’s latest success, BCCI has announced a reward of ₹131 crore for the winning team of the T20 World Cup 2026 tournament. This reward money is the highest prize money offered by BCCI for a winning Indian team. The recognition will further emphasize the importance of India’s latest ICC Trophy wins.
Another ICC Event on the Horizon
Though India is celebrating its recent success in cricket, another major event is just around the corner. The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is scheduled to commence in June 2026, and India will once again have the chance to win more ICC Trophies in its kitty.
