PM Modi Applauds Indian Blind Women’s Team for Historic Unbeaten T20 World Cup Victory
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Indian blind women’s cricket team on Monday for their historic victory in the inaugural Blind Women’s T20 World Cup. He called their achievement a shining example of grit, teamwork, and discipline. The team remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, showcasing their dominance from the league matches to the final.
India clinched the title by defeating Nepal by seven wickets in a one-sided final at the P Sara Oval in Colombo on Sunday. The bowlers delivered a disciplined performance that restricted Nepal to 114 runs for 5 wickets, and India completed the chase in just 12 overs, reflecting the team’s exceptional control and confidence.
In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, “Congratulations to the Indian Blind Women’s Cricket Team for making history by winning the inaugural Blind Women’s T20 World Cup! More commendable is the fact that they remained unbeaten in the series. This is indeed a historic sporting achievement, a shining example of hard work, teamwork, and determination. Each player is a champion!” He added that the team’s victory would inspire generations and strengthen India’s growing sporting culture, especially in para-sports.
Dominant Run Throughout the Tournament
India’s campaign was marked by consistent victories over some of the strongest teams. During the league stage, they defeated Sri Lanka, Australia, Nepal, the USA, and Pakistan. They then once again triumphed over Australia in the semi-final, reaffirming their superiority.
Blind cricket is played with a special white plastic ball filled with ball bearings, which helps players follow the sound. This format continues to gain international recognition, and India’s historic win has significantly contributed to its global journey.
PM Modi Also Praises India’s Boxers
Along with celebrating the cricket triumph, PM Modi also lauded India’s performance at the World Boxing Cup Finals 2025 in Greater Noida. He called it a “record-breaking performance,” noting that India secured 20 medals, including nine golds—one of the country’s best results in international boxing. “This is due to the resolve and determination of our boxers. Congratulations to them. Best wishes for their future endeavors,” PM Modi added.
A Growing Era of Sporting Excellence
India’s recent achievements in both mainstream and para-sports highlight a rising culture of inclusivity and empowerment in sports. The blind women’s cricket team’s victory stands as a powerful reminder that resilience and teamwork can break barriers and redefine possibilities. Their unbeaten campaign will serve as an inspiration for athletes across the country, encouraging future talent and strengthening India’s position in global sports.
