On Friday, February 7, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) felicitated the Rohit Sharma-led T20 World Cup 2024 winning Indian cricket team with a special ‘Champions Ring’. However, the gesture from the BCCI came during the recently held NAMAN Awards, the Indian cricket board took to social media to share the video of the stunningly crafted ‘Champions Ring’.
Notably, the BCCI has taken inspiration from popular American sports leagues like the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Football League (NFL) as they presented India’s T20 World Cup 2024 winning squad with the ring at the event, held on February 1 in Mumbai.

A week later after the members of the squad where presented with the special ring, BCCI uploaded a video on their social media handles, giving a closer glimpse of the mesmirising ring. "Presenting #TeamIndia with their CHAMPIONS RING to honour their flawless campaign in the #T20WorldCup �� Diamonds may be forever, but this win certainly is immortalised in a billion hearts. These memories will 'Ring' loud and live with us forever ✨" BCCI captioned the post.
Speaking of the ring, it has the Ashoka Chakra at the top and each one has a player’s name engraved on it along with their jersey number to keep it really special and personalised. The ring, which is made in gold and has diamonds embedded on it, also showcases the contributions made by each player during the marquee event which saw India finish unbeaten.
