The Indian Blind Cricket Champion’s hat trick performance at the recently finished T20 World Cup is heartening, and we are all proud of their accomplishment, Chaturvedi said in a statement congratulating the team on their admirable performance. Their World Cup winning streak is proof that you can succeed against all odds if you have the appropriate support and motivation.
In order for the players to continue to represent India with pride, we would like to implore BCCI to recognize the Indian Blind Cricket Team and offer them strong financial assistance. “We at UFlex are happy to have had the chance to play our part in promoting cricket for the blind and will continue to support them on their path,” the statement reads.
