In a groundbreaking moment for Indian sports, The Champions Ring has redefined how cricketing triumphs are celebrated. Unlike trophies and medals that remain on display, this first-of-its-kind championship ring is a wearable symbol of victory, ensuring that every player carries their achievement with them. Conceptualized by Dream11 and brought to life by renowned jewelry expert Harsh Sagar, this exclusive ring is more than just a piece of fine jewelry—it is a statement of legacy, craftsmanship, and national pride.
What makes The Champions Ring truly unique is its fusion of sports history, Indian heritage, and high-value craftsmanship. Inspired by global championship traditions, such as NBA and NFL rings, this marks the first time an Indian cricket team has been honored with a custom-designed ring that captures their unbeaten T20 World Cup journey. Crafted in 18K solid yellow gold and adorned with 330 natural diamonds, each element of the ring is meticulously designed to tell the story of Team India’s victory. From engraved scorecards of every match to a rotating Ashoka Chakra, symbolizing India’s dominance on the world stage, the attention to detail makes this ring unlike anything ever created in Indian sports.
The Champions Ring also introduces cutting-edge jewelry innovation to sports memorabilia. A horseshoe spring inside the band ensures a perfect fit for each player, a feature rarely seen in championship rings. The engravings include player-specific details such as jersey numbers, tournament statistics, and stars marking past World Cup wins, making each ring a completely personalized and irreplaceable piece of history.
Harsh Sagar, a leading name in investment-grade diamonds and vintage jewelry, has played a pivotal role in bringing this vision to life. With over 25 years of expertise across Israel, Belgium, and South Africa, he returned to India in 2015 to focus on bespoke design. His work ensures that The Champions Ring is not just an exclusive keepsake but also a high-value collectible, expected to appreciate in significance over time.
The concept of a luxury championship ring for cricket is unprecedented in India. While leagues like the NBA, NFL, and MLB have long celebrated their champions with exclusive rings, Indian cricket has never seen a recognition of this scale. The introduction of The Champions Ring marks the beginning of a new tradition—one that could extend to future Test victories, IPL titles, and even Olympic milestones.
More than just an award, The Champions Ring represents the evolution of Indian sports memorabilia. As global collectors drive demand for rare sports artifacts, from match-worn jerseys to autographed bats, this ring sets a new benchmark for high-value, investment-worthy sports collectibles in India.
Above all, The Champions Ring is a symbol of national pride. It is not just for the players who wear it but for every Indian cricket fan who lived through the emotions of this historic victory. As Indian sports continues to evolve, The Champions Ring stands as a testament to the future—where tradition meets innovation, and excellence is celebrated in gold and diamonds.
