Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday praised India’s maiden ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup victory, calling it a “historic win” that will “motivate future champions to take up sports.”
Prime Minister Modi congratulated the Indian women’s cricket team for winning its first-ever World Cup with a 52-run victory over South Africa.
