While the nation generally comes together to celebrate the victory of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s team, this triumph by the differently abled went rather unnoticed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan\u00a0Kalyan was absolutely moved by the determination, and he did something remarkable today.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulating the cricketers who won the World Cup, Kalyan presented cheques of Rs. 5 lakhs each to every female cricketer and Rs. 2 lakhs each to the coaches.\u00a0He honored them by presenting gifts including silk sarees and shawls for each female cricketer, along with mementos, Kondapalli dolls, and Araku coffee.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion, he praised the achievement of the women\u2019s blind cricketers as a matter of pride for the nation. He assured that he would personally appeal to the Chief Ministers of all states to provide special facilities for the practice of blind cricketers and to stand by them in every way.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to that, Deepika, who served as captain of the blind women\u2019s cricket team that won the World Cup, brought to the attention of Pawan Kalyan the fact that their village lacks road facilities. She requested the construction of a road to their village, Tambalahetti. Kalyan was quick to react to the same as a sanctioned road facility to this village in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking briefly, Pawan Kalyan said he watched a video on social media, where a member of the women\u2019s blind team spoke about dreaming to build a house for herself after winning the World Cup. \u201cIt pained me to see a world champion from India still dreaming about building a house even after winning the World Cup. So, I wanted to do my part of contribution and there will be more such assistance in the future as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What a gesture!<\/p>\n<p>AP Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan noticed a player from India\u2019s blind cricket team saying after winning the trophy, \u201cI want to have a house,\u201d and was moved.<\/p>\n<p>He donated \u20b95 lakh each, a total of \u20b980 lakh, to the entire team.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PawanKalyan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#PawanKalyan<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Nt7ufIIRMb\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/Nt7ufIIRMb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Gulte (@GulteOfficial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GulteOfficial\/status\/1999521003928531014?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-tag\">Tags <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gulte.com\/tag\/pawan-kalyan\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pawan Kalyan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That for those who don\u2019t already know the Indian women\u2019s cricket team made the entire country proud by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":344991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,2385,2384,85],"class_list":["post-344990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-india-today-telangana-ppe-survey","tag-ktr","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=344990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/344991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=344990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=344990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=344990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
