They brought us glory. Now it is our turn to say thank you!
2023 continued to be a great year for Indian sports. Our athletes have achieved tremendous success at the Asian Games and in various World Championships across multiple disciplines. Neeraj Chopra added a World Championship gold, while Kishore Jena surprised many by ensuring a one-two in men’s javelin at the Asian Games. Our badminton stars—HS Prannoy, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty—continued to excel at the world stage, while our hockey teams, too, made us proud with medals at the Asiad. There were great performances by Virat Kohli, R. Praggnanandhaa, and many others. Our Paralympians—led by Avani Lekhara, Sumit Antil, Pramod Bhagat, and Sheetal Devi—also shone on the big stage.
The Indian men’s cricket team reached the finals of both the ODI Men’s World Cup and the World Test Championship, while the women’s team won the inaugural U-19 World Cup.
It is time to celebrate these and every other landmark victory of the year at the sixth edition of the Sportstar ACES Awards.
We have 21 categories of awards this year.
