Congratulations, Team India, on your World Cup triumph. Now let's see you do it blindfolded." -Prakash, Opening batsman for the Indian National Blind Cricket Team. I have never seen my opponent. Still, I shall never want to see a grown man weep." -Simson Pushparaj, Vice Captain of the Indian National Blind Cricket Team. Ads to promote, raise awareness and recognition for the Indian National Cricket Team / Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled, Bangalore. Behind football, cricket is the second largest sport on the planet. The Indian cricket board (BCCI) is one of the richest sporting bodies in the world, worth over $1.5 billion, yet doesn't recognize blind cricket as real cricket and therefore doesn't support the team financially or in any other way. Nor does the Indian government Sports Authority. While all the other cricket nations sponsor their blind cricket teams, the Indian National Blind Cricket Team soldiers on alone, relying on its own fund raising efforts. Despite this, the cash strapped Indian National Blind Cricket Team has proven itself to be the best blind cricket team in the world.
