NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday met the Indian women’s cricket team after they won the inaugural Blind T20 world cup, defeating Nepal by seven wickets in the final in Colombo.
The victory for the Indian women’s blind team in a six team tournament came just days after the women’s senior side claimed its maiden triumph in the ODI world cup.
The team members presented PM Modi with an autographed bat, and he also signed a ball for them.
The triumphant Indian side had earlier been applauded by PM Modi for their landmark achievement.
