Why did Rohit Sharma & Co. get personalised diamond-studded rings, know here

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) rewarded the Rohit Sharma-led T20 World Cup-winning team with personalised diamond-studded rings in a ceremony that took place during the Naman Awards 2025 in Mumbai on Friday.

The ‘Championship wings’ were presented to celebrate India winning the 2024 T20 World Cup in Barbados. The win over South Africa in Barbados marked the team’s first major ICC triumph since the 2013 Champions Trophy.

As such, each member of the winning squad received a custom ring featuring their name, jersey number, and an Ashok Chakra on top. Further, these rings also displayed the team’s win margins throughout the tournament, in which India remained undefeated.

The details of the ring and its intricate design were shared by the BCCI on its X  (formerly Twitter) handle. “Diamonds may be forever, but this win is immortalized in a billion hearts,” the text accompanying it read.

During the ring-presenting ceremony, nine members of Team India’s World Cup-winning squad were present at the event. Veteran players including Kohli, are currently a part of Team India’s squad against England for 3 One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
