Rastrapati bhavan

Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground: Former India bowler Shahbaz Nadeem called the President and Prime Minister meeting with the Indian women’s team as ‘encouraging’, saying that one must achieve something massive to get that honour. 

Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here at his official residence at Lok Kalyan Marg on Wednesday evening, before meeting with President Droupadi Murmu at Rastrapati Bhavan on Thursday afternoon. The team beat South Africa in the final of the Women’s World Cup on Sunday night to be named world champions for the first time in 52 years of the tournament’s history.

"It's really exciting to meet the President and Prime Minister. If they're encouraging you and they want to meet you, there's nothing more like it. Not just sportspersons, but if anyone is encouraged by the PM or the President, it's a great achievement for them because it's not easy to meet them. They'll meet you and encourage you only when you've done something great. And this will motivate everyone in the world of women's cricket, especially in India," Nadeem told IANS.
