SJAM Lifetime Achievement Award: While Ravi Shastri was blasting six sixes off an over in a Ranji Trophy match at the Wankhede Stadium in 1985, his parents had no idea about their son's massive achievement. Shastri's mother, Lakshmi, was told by the neighborhood bhelpuri wala that her son had done something great on that day.

Ravi Shastri's mother narrated this incident as the most memorable moment for her from her son's career after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award 2025 on his behalf on Wednesday.

On the occasion of the World Sports Journalists Day, the Sports Journalists Association of Mumbai (SJAM) on Wednesday felicitated 11 doyens of Mumbai and Indian sports with the Lifetime Achievement Awards for their overall contribution to the sport at a function organised at the Bombay Gymkhana.
