The annual Sportstar Aces Awards is back with its fifth chapter to honour a number of incredible performances across the spectrum of sports in India in 2022.
2022 – coming right after the highs of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics – continued to be a great year for Indian sports. Our athletes have achieved tremendous success at the Commonwealth Games, and in various World Championships across multiple disciplines.
