The Indian blind men’s cricket squad etched an indelible mark on January 20, 2018, by lifting the Blind World Cup trophy for the second time running, thrashing Pakistan by eight wickets in the UAE decider.
After Pakistan’s toss win led to a 308-run haul, India unleashed a calculated pursuit. Openers provided stability, accelerating smartly as the target loomed. Expert use of the crease neutralized bowlers, culminating in a dominant chase.
Ajay Kumar Reddy’s all-round brilliance as captain was match-defining, backed by a team effort in every department. Their tournament-long consistency was unmatched.
This repeat success from 2014 inspires beyond boundaries, spotlighting the potential of disabled sports stars. It advocates for enhanced facilities, fostering a more inclusive sporting ecosystem in India.
