Amit Shah met Indian players
India's disabled cricket team recently returned from their tour of England after winning the T20 series. Union Home Minister Amit Shah met with all the Indian players and praised their spirit and determination. A video of the Indian players taking off their shirts and waving them on the Lord's balcony, in the style of Sourav Ganguly, also went viral.
England won the seven-match T20I series 4-3, played from August 5th to August 19th. However, Team India secured a historic victory at Lord's in the final match. Following that memorable victory, Union Home Minister Amit Shah met with the Indian players.
Amit Shah said via social media, "I was delighted to meet the Indian Disabled Cricket Team in New Delhi. The team has returned from their tour of England, where they played the India-England Men's Mixed Disability T20 Series. Their determination and efforts to bring honor to the country inspire India's youth. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors."
Although Team India lost the series, it ended it in memorable fashion. Batting first in the final T20I, India posted 206 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Majid MacGray's innings, which boasted a strike rate of 331.58, was particularly impressive. He smashed 68 runs off just 19 balls, including three fours and seven sixes.
In reply, England were bowled out for just 88 runs, and India won the match by 118 runs. Hilal Ahmed Wani took four wickets for India, while Jayesh Parmar dismissed three batsmen in just two overs. Following that resounding victory, the Indian players and support staff even waved their shirts on the Lord's balcony.
