2025 में, यह रविचंद्रन अश्विन ही थे जिन्हें एक क्रिकेटर के रूप में प्रतिष्ठित पद्म श्री पुरस्कार मिला।
Sharma and Harmanpreet Kaur were named among the recipients of the Padma Shri Award
Rohit and Harmanpreet, both World Cup-winning captains, were among the headline names from the sporting fraternity. Faces of Indian men’s and women’s cricket, Rohit and Harmanpreet contributed massively recently. Rohit Sharma led the country to its first ICC trophy after 11 years at the T20 World Cup 2024. Back in November 2025, Harmanpreet Kaur scripted history by claiming India’s first-ever Women’s World Cup.
Rohit Sharma & Harmanpreet Kaur recieve huge honours
Rohit Sharma was conferred with the Padma Shri following a highly successful stint as India’s captain. Under his leadership, India won the T20 World Cup in 2024 and the Champions Trophy in 2025, while also finishing runners-up in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Rohit retired from T20 internationals after the World Cup triumph and stepped away from Test cricket after the 2024–25 Australia tour, though he remains focused on India’s campaign at the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Harmanpreet Kaur was also honoured with the Padma Shri after leading India to their first-ever ICC Women’s World Cup title last year. The 36-year-old captained the side through a difficult campaign, guiding the team past Australia in the semi-final and South Africa in the final to script a historic achievement for Indian women’s cricket. Harmanpreet, who made her international debut in 2009, had earlier received the Arjuna Award in 2017.
Among other notable names, former Indian tennis star Vijay Amritraj was conferred with the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian honour. Indian women’s hockey goalkeeper Savita Punia, veteran hockey coach Baldev Singh and several others were also recognised for their long-standing contributions.
