Indian roots, global jersey: PM Modi said about T20 World Cup – Players of Indian origin are making the country proud in the world.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that players of Indian origin are making their country proud in the world and are becoming an inspiration for the youth there. In his monthly program “Mann Ki Baat” today, PM Modi said that I often say “Jo Khele-Woh Khile”. Sports also connects us. Nowadays you must be watching T-20 World Cup matches and I am sure that while watching the match, many times your eyes would be fixed on a particular player.

The jersey is from some other country but after hearing the name one feels that it is from our country. Then a slight happiness comes in some corner of the heart. Because that player is of Indian origin and he is playing for the country where his family has settled. They enter the field wearing the jerseys of their respective countries, representing that country whole-heartedly.

He said that the Canadian team has the highest number of players of Indian origin. Team captain Dilpreet Bajwa was born in Gurdaspur, Punjab. Navneet Dhaliwal is from Chandigarh. There are many names in this list like Harsh Thakar, Shreyas Mova, who are making Canada proud as well as India. Many faces in the US team come from Indian domestic cricket. American team captain Monank Patel has also played for Gujarat’s Under-16 and Under-18 teams. Saurabh of Mumbai, Harmeet Singh, Milind Kumar of Delhi, all of them are the pride of the American team. There are many faces in the Oman team today who have previously played in different states of India.

Players like Jatinder Singh, Vinayak Shukla, Karan, Jai, Ashish are the strong link of Oman cricket. Players of Indian origin are also making their place in the teams of New Zealand, UAE and Italy. The Prime Minister said that there are many such players of Indian origin who are making their country proud. They are becoming an inspiration for the youth there. This is the specialty of Indianness. Indians remain connected to the roots of their motherland wherever they go. And they also help in the development of their workplace i.e. the country in which they live.
