Big blunder at BCCI Naman Awards: Shubman Gill wrongly labeled… Rohit fans blast on social media, full winners list

A major screen blunder sparked controversy at the BCCI Naman Awards 2026 as Shubman Gill won top award. Check the full winners list.

India’s Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill was honoured with the Polly Umrigar Award for Best International Cricketer (Men) for the 2024-25 season at the BCCI Naman Awards 2026 ceremony on Sunday. Smriti Mandhana won the Best International Cricketer (Women) award for the fifth time in her career.

Harshit Rana received the Best International Debut (Men) award, while N Shri Charani won the Best International Debut (Women) honour.

The night also celebrated Lifetime Achievement Awards for legends Roger Binny, Rahul Dravid, and Mithali Raj with the Col CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award.

Controversy during the BCCI awards ceremony

During the event, the BCCI organised a special discussion with captains of recent ICC trophy-winning teams. T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav and Women’s ODI World Cup-winning captain Harmanpreet Kaur were present, but Rohit Sharma (Champions Trophy 2025 captain) could not attend. Instead, Shubman Gill joined the panel.

However, a major error appeared on the screen when Shubman Gill’s name was displayed – he was wrongly labelled as the Champions Trophy winner captain. The same mistake was visible when BCCI posted the video on social media. After fan backlash, the BCCI media team quickly removed the video.

Another big mistake happened when the U-19 Women’s World Cup 2025 winning team was called on stage for honouring. Instead of the U-19 team photo, the screen behind showed the photo of Harmanpreet Kaur’s senior women’s team. The wrong photo stayed on screen the entire time the U-19 players were on stage.
