Vijay Goel the Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports felicitated the Indian women's cricket team for their brilliant performance in the concluded ICC Women's World Cup.
"I believe that our women's cricket team has done exceedingly well that any form of appreciation will be less for them. Despite ending as runner-ups, I feel that the women's team has won the finals because they have won the hearts of the entire country. And winning the hearts of the entire country is so big thing that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said,
`We are proud of you`. And that is why PM Modi says `if you play, you will flourish`," Goel said. "The country was not aware much about the women's team prior to the World Cup, but now after the final match, people are aware of all women players. So, I want to congratulate Mithali Raj and her entire team. The female players have done so well in cricket; I want to congratulate them on behalf of the entire sports ministry. I also want to congratulate the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). I also want to congratulate the coaches, team managers and supporting staff of the team," he added.
