Sachin Tendulkar, one of cricket’s biggest legends, is set to receive the prestigious BCCI Lifetime Achievement Award. This honor will be given to him at the Board’s annual Naman Awards ceremony on Saturday. Tendulkar, who changed the game with his perfect technique and long career, will be recognized for his amazing achievements in cricket.

A BCCI source shared with Hindustan Times, “Yes, Sachin will be honored at the Naman Awards on Saturday. It’s about time he got this honor, what has he not done for Indian cricket? We will be giving him the CK Nayudu award.”

Tendulkar has made 664 international appearances, holding the record for the most runs in both Test and ODI cricket. He has scored 15,921 runs in Tests and a remarkable 18,426 runs in ODIs. His records of playing the most Test (200) and ODI (463) matches still stand, proving his greatness over the years. He also played one T20I in his career.

Tendulkar’s achievements are more than just numbers. His impact on Indian cricket has been huge, and he has inspired millions with his game. His recognition by the BCCI shows just how much of a legend he is, even though it’s been almost ten years since he retired from international cricket.

The BCCI Lifetime Achievement Award is given to cricketers who have made outstanding contributions to the sport. In 2023, former India head coach Ravi Shastri and wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer also received the award. Now, Tendulkar joins the list of past winners.

Tendulkar’s cricket journey started at just 16 when he made his debut during India’s tour of Pakistan in 1989. Throughout the 1990s, he became the backbone of India’s batting line-up, scoring against the best teams in the world. Apart from his countless records, Tendulkar was also part of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning team, marking his sixth and final World Cup appearance.

His dominance on the field was so great that other teams often said that getting him out was their top priority. His presence on the field gave India a psychological edge.
Tendulkar will be the 31st player to receive the C K Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, which was started in 1994 to honor Col. C K Nayudu, India’s first Test captain.
