That’s Sunil Gavaskar, former India cricket great, wielding the willow as adjudicator of the CEAT Cricket Rating tonight — an event now recognised as the Oscars of Cricket in which players are rewarded for excellence in the field. Harsh Goenka, Vice-Chairman of CEAT, who pioneered this concept in 1995, believes cricket is a religion in India. And Gavaskar, agreeing with him, says that cricketers need all the encouragement and these awards do just that.
Having introduced the CEAT India Cricket Awards in 2007 and T20 Ratings this year, the event now covers the entire spectrum of cricket — from Tests and ODIs to T20 and Domestic matches
This year, the awards night will combine two factors that affect the Indian psyche – cricket and films. Bollywood hottie Mallika Sherawat will stage an exciting performance in this evening of ‘Cricketainment’ at Taj Mahal Hotel and Towers. The Indian and Sri Lankan teams will attend the event.
Winners of the CEAT Cricket Rating award in the past are some legendary players like Brian Lara, Saurav Ganguly, Jaques Kallis, Muthiah Muralitharan, Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar.
