NEW DELHI: Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar met with the Indian women's blind cricket team, fresh off their T20 World Cup triumph, and lauded their resilience and dedication in bringing glory to the nation.
The interaction took place on Tuesday at Mumbai's MIG Cricket Club, where Tendulkar praised the team for their inspiring journey and remarkable achievements.
"The legend reminded the team that success brings with it greater responsibility. He said expectations would rise, and meeting them would demand even harder work and sharper focus," the organisers said in a statement.
"Emphasising that the World Cup victory was not an endpoint, he described it as the beginning of a longer journey, one that now carries the weight of inspiration for countless others," it added.
Deepika TC, the captain of the Indian women's blind cricket team said, "We have always played with passion and belief, but hearing words of encouragement from him has touched our hearts deeply."
