Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award, the top accolade in Indian cricket, by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for a stellar career during which he has set a plethora of records. Tendulkar, the only batsman to score 100 centuries in international cricket, was presented the prestigious award by the ICC Chairman Jay Shah at the BCCI’s Annual Naman Awards ceremony here on Saturday.
