India Champions Crowned Legends in Inaugural World Championship

India Champions Triumph in Inaugural World Championship of Legends

In a thrilling finale at Edgbaston, Birmingham, India Champions emerged victorious in the inaugural World Championship of Legends, defeating arch-rivals Pakistan Champions by five wickets.

Pakistan Champions, led by Younis Khan, posted a competitive total of 156 for 6 in their 20 overs. However, India's explosive batsman Ambati Rayudu stole the show with a blistering 50 off just 30 balls, guiding his team to victory with five wickets and five balls to spare.

Post-match celebrations erupted, with captain Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, and Harbhajan Singh engaging in a playful dance to the tune of "Tauba Tauba." However, their antics sparked controversy when para-badminton star Manasi Joshi criticized them for mocking people with physical disabilities.

Joshi, a former world no. 1 in her SL3 badminton category, expressed her disappointment in the comments section of the viral video. She condemned the trio's behavior, stating that it could encourage bullying and harm young children with disabilities.

"This isn't funny," Joshi wrote. "You don't know how much harm your behavior can do. The appreciation you're getting from people around is appalling to see."

Joshi's comments highlighted the importance of responsible behavior from public figures and the need to respect individuals with disabilities. Her words resonated with many, who expressed their support for her stance.

Despite the controversy, India's victory in the World Championship of Legends was a significant achievement. The team's performance showcased the depth of talent in Indian cricket and cemented their status as one of the world's leading cricketing nations.
