New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has invited the Indian team that won the Women’s ODI World Cup to his official residence. The Indian team will be welcomed at the Prime Minister’s Office on Wednesday. BCCI said that they have received a message from the Prime Minister’s Office to call the Indian team. The members of the Indian team present in Mumbai will leave for Delhi by tomorrow evening to meet the Prime Minister. Only after this all the team members will go to their respective homes.
This morning, in a public program in Saharsa, Bihar, the Prime Minister had praised the Indian team that won the World Cup. He had said, “Yesterday, India’s daughters created history in Mumbai. India has won the World Cup. After 25 years, the Women’s World Cup has got a new champion. This is not just an achievement in the world of sports, but it is a proof of the confidence of Indian daughters.”
All these girls come from small villages and cities of India. These include children of farmers, laborers and middle class families. I and the entire country are proud of him. I also congratulate the parents of all the daughters who won the World Cup.
BCCI has not yet clarified anything on how the celebration of the Indian team winning the World Cup will be. BCCI had announced a reward of Rs 51 crore for the Indian team winning the World Cup. Last year, when the Indian men’s team won the T20 World Cup, a victory march was taken out in an open bus in Mumbai. But, in view of the incident caused by the crowd during the victory march of IPL-winning RCB, BCCI has not yet taken any decision on the victory march.
