They also rule the 22yeards. They also raise the World Cup. They also hold the Tricolor of the Nation high. But they are the forbidden heroes in our nation where people 'Eat' 'Drink' & 'Sleep' Cricket.
They are not affiliated with our apex cricketing authority BCCI. They are the Blind Cricket Team of India.
The Indian blind cricket team was formed in 1998. Currently, the team is managed by the Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI). It is associated with World Blind Council, and is the apex body governing blind cricket in the country. Around 25 states are associated with CABI and it is the only authorizing body to get other teams to play blind cricket
Despite their struggles, the team has been formidable and its performance exemplary. In December 2012, India won the first T20 world cup in Bangalore and in 2014, they won the ODI World Cup in Cape Town.
Having no or less vision in their eyes now the current squad is dreaming to win the WORLD CUP. It was scheduled to that Gaddafi, Lahore will host the Final of this World Cup. But if the Indian Men in Blues qualify for the finale then the final will be held at Dubai, reports Perfect Relations, managing the team's public relations.

The defending champion does have their own dedicated practice pitch or training center met the Delhi Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal at his residence in the morning. CM was very warm in welcoming the team and also was very inquisitive about Blind Cricket. Mr. Mahantesh GK, President Of The Cricket Association for the Blind in India and Mr. Samarthanam explained to CM regarding blind cricket. He requested CM to allot a permanent training and playing ground for the Blind cricketers and also a training center for learning. Shri Kejriwal assured Mr. Mahantesh that both facilities will be given and also wished the players for their world cup. He said that he is looking forward to welcome the team back again with the world cup trophy.
Today the team is now traveling to Dubai from New Delhi where they will be playing their first match against Australia.
Run basically on crowd funding the team believes that the awareness and donations made towards them could make a huge difference. Away from branding, sponsorship, the team hopes one day the Barron of Indian Cricket BCCI will stop turning their deaf ears and look upon the Blind Boys and affiliate them into the mainstream of Indian Cricket.
Now we could pray for them for their success in this World Cup.
