India's blind women's cricket team created history by winning the inaugural Women's T20 World Cup for the Blind in Colombo on Sunday. Led by captain Deepika TC, India defeated Nepal by seven wickets, restricting them to 114/5 before chasing down 117/3 in just 12 overs. The victory sparked nationwide celebrations with Union Home Minister Amit Shah calling it a "remarkable victory," while ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia, Nitin Gadkari, and Mansukh Mandaviya praised the team's courage and determination. Chief Ministers Yogi Adityanath, Siddaramaiah, and DK Shivkumar lauded the achievement. The historic win comes three weeks after India's women's team won the regular Women's World Cup, marking an extraordinary month for Indian women's cricket.
