The Prime Minister today praised Indian Cricket team for their performance in the World Cup Cricket tournament.
As the team lost in the final of the World Cup after an unbeaten performance throughout the tournament, the Prime Minister posted on X :
“Dear Team India,
Your talent and determination through the World Cup was noteworthy. You’ve played with great spirit and brought immense pride to the nation.

Australia on Sunday trounced undefeated tournament favourites India by six wickets to win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad.
The calm but experienced Australian side sailed to a comfortable win despite losing three early wickets in their run chase at a packed Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday evening.
In the final, too, Australia found themselves in trouble when they were down 47 for 3 chasing 241. Mohammed Shami had removed David Warner for 7 in the second over and Jasprit Bumrah had Mitchell Marsh caught behind for 15. Soon after, Bumrah got the crucial wicket of Steven Smith in the seventh over, having him pinned in front for 4.
It was only after that did Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne combine for the match-winning partnership of 192, to not let India into the game at any point then on.
