PM Modi Honors Blind Women's Cricket Team
The Indian Blind Women's Cricket Team won the first-ever Blind T20 World Cup by beating Nepal in the final.
They stayed unbeaten throughout the tournament.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the team to congratulate them at his residence.
The team gave him an autographed bat, and he signed a ball for them.
This victory is special because it happened just a few weeks after the senior women's cricket team won their first ODI World Cup.
PM Modi praised the team's hard work and determination, saying their achievement will inspire many people.
The team's skipper, Deepika TC, was surprised when PM Modi asked her if she sings, and vice-captain Ganga Kadam felt emotional, thinking her late father would have been proud of her achievement.
The Indian Blind Women's Cricket Team won the inaugural Blind T20 World Cup, defeating Nepal by seven wickets in the final in Colombo.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the team on Thursday to congratulate them on their historic achievement at his residence in New Delhi.
The team presented PM Modi with an autographed bat, and he signed a ball for the team in return.
This victory comes three weeks after the senior women's cricket team won their maiden ODI World Cup.
