'Excellence In Team Spirit, Discipline And Confidence': CM Fadnavis Hails Indian Cricket Team's T20 WC Victory

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis: In a heartfelt tribute to the Indian Cricket Team's historic victory in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Monday, moved a congratulatory motion in the State Assembly, hailing the team's clinical performance. The Chief Minister noted that the Indian cricket team dominated the tournament, winning every single match except one. He attributed this success to a perfect blend of team spirit, discipline, and confidence. Chief Minister Fadnavis extended his heartfelt congratulations to Indian team Captain Suryakumar Yadav, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, and the entire squad. The motion was subsequently approved and declared passed by the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar. Speaking on the special motion, Chief Minister Fadnavis traced India's glorious cricketing journey including 1983: The first World Cup win at the Lord's under Kapil Dev, 2007 and 2011: T20 and ODI World Cup victories under Captain M.S. Dhoni, and 2024 and 2026: Solidifying global dominance with consecutive T20 World Cup titles. The Chief Minister expressed particular pride in the fact that Captain Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube hail from Mumbai. He remarked that it is heartening to see players from rural and humble backgrounds shining on the international stage, continuing Maharashtra's legacy of producing cricketing greats. Highlighting the details of the final match held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad -- the world's largest cricket ground -- the Chief Minister noted: India set a massive record-breaking total of 255/5 in 20 overs, the highest-ever score in a T20 World Cup Final. The bowlers dismantled the New Zealand innings for just 159 runs. Sanju Samson provided a powerful start with 89 runs off 46 balls. Abhishek Sharma smashed one of the tournament's fastest fifties (52 off 21 balls), while Ishan Kishan contributed a fiery 54 off 25 balls. Jasprit Bumrah was the hero with the ball, taking 4 wickets and maintaining the best economy rate throughout the tournament. Axar Patel supported him well with 3 crucial wickets. With this victory, India has become the first country in the world to win the T20 World Cup three times and the first to win it back-to-back, Chief Minister Fadnavis said. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde moved a congratulatory motion in the State Legislative Council, saying that the victory at Ahmedabad has sparked a wave of joy and enthusiasm across the nation. This isn't just a victory in sports; it is a symbol of the grit, team spirit, and confidence of our players, Deputy CM Shinde remarked. He congratulated the team, the coaching staff, and BCCI Chairman Jay Shah on behalf of the state government and the people of Maharashtra. He emphasised that India has now carved its name in history by winning the coveted title in 2007, 2024, and 2026. He congratulated the team, the coaching staff, and BCCI Chairman Jay Shah on behalf of the state government and the people of Maharashtra.

Grassroot-level Initiatives Take Center Stage in this Humans of Bombay Feature

Humans of Bombay 's recent podcast episode features an intimate conversation with Seema Singh, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and cultural advocate, whose life is a masterclass in turning privilege into purpose. Seema Singh spends time with children supported by MeghaShrey, the self-funded foundation through which she educates, mentors and empowers young lives across India In a candid exchange with host Karishma Mehta, Seema opens up about her journey from a sheltered upbringing in Patna to building a life of extraordinary impact in Mumbai. What emerges is a portrait of a woman reshaping lives far from the spotlight. Watch the full conversation here: youtu.be/9DuHfQiEO-I?si=f3_d0EXCbIcUH32W At the heart of her work is MeghaShrey, an NGO she self-funds entirely, with no CSR grants and no corporate sponsorships. Named after her children Meghna and Shrey, the organization has touched thousands of lives, from adopting a school of 1,000 girls in Bihar with scholarships and self-defense training, to vaccinating nearly 100,000 women against cervical cancer across rural Maharashtra, Bihar, Punjab, and Delhi. She also supports 150 children in Mumbai with education and sports, and aids over 120 senior citizens at an old age home in Dahisar. Her anti-dowry advocacy was sparked by something deeply personal, watching her household helper unable to marry off her daughter because the groom's family demanded a scooter. That moment, she says, changed everything. Beyond philanthropy, Seema champions India's artisan economy through her fashion label SS by Seema Singh, created to support weavers and emerging designers hit hardest by the pandemic. This is the kind of conversation you'll want to sit with.
