The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Naman Awards are among the most prestigious and highly anticipated events for Indian cricket fans, offering a rare glimpse into the candid moments of their favorite players. Virat Kohli has always been a major highlight at the ceremony, but this time, he was notably absent. What was the reason behind his absence from the event? Read this article to find out.
Why Virat Kohli did not attend BCCI Naman Awards 2025?
The Indian star was part of Delhi’s Ranji Trophy match against Railways. He was playing for the team early this morning and, therefore, likely chose to miss the event.
Although the match ended early with Delhi securing a victory by an innings and 19 runs, the game was held in Delhi, while the Naman Awards took place in Mumbai. Additionally, he was not among the award winners this time, so he may have preferred to spend time with his team after returning to domestic cricket after 13 years.
