Following the historic 20th-anniversary milestone celebrated last year, the Jagdale Sports Foundation (JSF) once again gathered to honor the relentless pursuit of cricketing excellence. On July 19, 2026, the JSF Awards night served as a powerful testament to the foundation’s enduring mission: engineering the champions of tomorrow.
Held at the heart of Baner, Balewadi, JSF as Cricket Academy has organized the 2026 JSF Awards recognized the grit, discipline, and tactical brilliance of the athletes who have shaped yet another extraordinary season for Maharashtra cricket.
A Vision Vindicated
The 2025–2026 season has been nothing short of spectacular, validating the transformative vision set into motion in 2020. The strategic collaboration between JSF and Trinity spearheaded by Mr. Sourabh Jagdale, Mr. Dhanraj Deshmukh, and Mr. Dnyaneshwar Jagdale continues to bear incredible fruit.
This year’s awards carried a special weight, coming on the heels of unprecedented on-field dominance. The strategic, performance-driven operations of the Sourabh Jagdale & Group have ensured that JSF is no longer just identifying talent; it is systematically building a pipeline of state and BCCI-level cricketers.
The Class of 2026: The Roll of Honor
The core of the evening was dedicated to honoring the athletes who have pushed beyond their comfort zones, embodying the JSF’s 4 Pillars of High Performance: Technical Mastery, Physical Literacy, Psychological Fortitude, and Social Connectivity.
From captains who held their nerve in tight knockout matches like Vivaan Hansalia to lethal match-winners like Tanmay Kulkarni, and the rising stars across all age-group squads, these 26 awardees represent the absolute pinnacle of dedication.

Beyond the Trophies
An award at JSF is never just about the runs scored or the wickets taken; it is a recognition of the unseen hours spent perfecting biomechanics in the Cricket Lab, the heavy lifting in the Strength & Conditioning zone, and the maturity shown during high-pressure match simulations.
Every player walking across the stage on July 19th carries the responsibility of the JSF crest, a symbol of a healthy, fiercely competitive cricketing culture.
To the awardees, the dedicated coaching staff led by Mr. Dnyaneshwar Jagdale, the visionary management, and the parents who support this journey: thank you. The 2026 JSF Awards have set a new benchmark.
Here is to an even bigger, bolder, and more dominant season ahead.
