Blind T 20 World Cup News

Sachin Tendulkar has shown his support for the India blind cricket team by asking the BCCI to recognize the Cricket Association for the Blind in India. In a letter to the BCCI, Tendulkar asked the board to include the cricketers under the BCCI pension scheme for their long-term security.

After Virender Sehwag congratulated the blind cricket team using #OtherMenInBlue, people on Twitter did not take it too kindly and even the captain of the blind cricket team took offence to the tweet. However, was what Sehwag did really so wrong? Was it really disrespectful to the World Champions?

Indian Blind Cricket team today defeated archrivals Pakistan in the finals of the T20 World Cup for the blind at Bangalore to lift the cup for the second consecutive time. Wicket-keeper batsman Prakasha Jayaramaiah scored a brilliant 99 runs to help India track down the 198-run target in 17.4 overs.
