Sachin Tendulkar to receive the prestigious BCCI Lifetime Achievement Award

The Master Blaster is all set to add another feather to his cap by receiving this lifetime honour from the BCCI.

In 2023, the Lifetime Achievement Award was bestowed on former India head coach Ravi Shastri and wicket-keeping great Farokh Engineer. This time around, the lifetime honour will be presented to the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

Considered the ‘God’ of cricket and one of the greatest icons in cricket, Sachin Tendulkar will finally be honoured with the prestigious BCCI Lifetime Award at the Board’s annual gala on Saturday. The legendary batter will receive the award for 2024. A BCCI source told Hindustan Times, “Yes, Sachin will be honoured at the Naman Awards on Saturday. It’s about time he got this honour; what has he not done for Indian cricket? We will be giving the CK Nayudu award to him.”

Sachin Tendulkar joins the elite list of past recipients of the honour.

Tendulkar is now a part of the elite list of past recipients of the honour, which last year was awarded to former India head coach Ravi Shastri and legendary wicketkeeper-batter Farokh Engineer. Tendulkar will be receiving this honour nearly a decade after he bid farewell to international cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar became the 31st recipient of the prestigious C K Nayadu Lifetime Achievement Award instituted in 1994 to honour India’s first test captain, Col. C K Nayudu.
