News India Live, Digital Desk: Indian Team Victory : When the dream of winning the World Cup turned into reality, along with the entire country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself became a part of this historic moment of the Indian team. The pictures of his meeting with the team in the dressing room after the final had gone viral, but now some interesting things from the conversation that took place during that meeting have come to light. The Prime Minister spoke openly to every member of the team and not only congratulated them, but also gave them some important advice.
“Don’t pay attention to social media trolling”
In today’s era, where on one hand the players get immense love from the fans, on the other hand they are also trolled badly for their poor performance. Prime Minister Modi was well aware of this. He told the young stars of the team, especially Shubhman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, that they should not pay any attention to the unnecessary trolling on social media.
He explained that there will always be criticism, but he should only focus on his game and performance. This advice of the PM shows how deeply he understands the mental pressure on young players.
When PM asked Mohammad Siraj the story of ‘Jai Shri Ram’
This meeting became more special when PM Modi asked fast bowler Mohammad Siraj about his ‘Jai Shri Ram’ gesture. You might remember, in a match during the World Cup, when the crowd was chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’, Siraj, who was fielding at the boundary, greeted him with folded hands. There was a lot of discussion on this incident.
PM Modi spoke directly to Siraj about this, which shows how closely he keeps an eye on even small moments related to sports.
Had a special conversation with every player
- Rohit Sharma: The PM praised the selfless captaincy of Captain Rohit Sharma. He said that Rohit always put the team before himself.
- Virat Kohli: He not only called Virat Kohli a great player but also called him a role model.
- Jasprit Bumrah: Praising Bumrah’s brilliant comeback, the PM said that he has shown that anything can be achieved with strong intentions.
- KL Rahul: The PM described Rahul’s sensible innings in the final as a turning point in the match.
Apart from this, he also praised the aggressive strategy and mentorship of head coach Gautam Gambhir. This meeting was not just a formal congratulatory event, but a heartfelt conversation between a leader and his team, in which the contribution of every player was appreciated and they were inspired for the future.
