Mr. Syed Kirmani, former India wicketkeeper, has been nominated for the Col. CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award. Indian Test captain Virat Kohli has been named ‘Indian Cricketer of the Year’ while Mithali Raj was picked for the top women’s award in the BCCI annual honours to be given away on 5 January in Mumbai.

Kohli had a memorable cricket season, winning his maiden away series as captain against Sri Lanka and thumping South Africa at home. He has been among runs, playing vital knocks in both the formats.

Mithali became the first Indian woman and second overall to complete 5,000 runs in ODI format this year. Mithali will be presented with the M A Chidambaram Trophy for the best women’s cricketer.

Karnataka State Cricket Association has been chosen the state association of the year for achieving the treble of winning the Ranji Trophy, Irani Cup and Vijay Hazare Trophy in the season.

Karnataka all-rounder Robin Uthappa has been nominated for the Madhavrao Scindia Award for being the highest run-scorer in Ranji Trophy. Uthappa scored 912 runs in 11 matches, averaging 50.66.

The top wicket taker’s award has been shared this year by Karnataka’s R Vinay Kumar and Mumbai’s Shardul Thakur, both of whom scalped 48 in the previous season.

Here is the list of the awardees:
