The Indian cricket team has become the T20 World Cup champion for the second time. Rohit Sharma's brigade has returned to India with the trophy of this World Cup. The first thing Team India did after coming to India was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PM hosted Team India at his residence. During this, the PM got photographed with Team India and the World Cup trophy.
However, during this time, Narendra Modi did not touch the trophy. He only held the hands of Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid. The trophy was held by Rohit and Rahul. Allow us to share the backstory with you.
This is the reason Why did not touch the T20 World Cup trophy?
One thing is said about the trophy and medal: That is, the trophy and medal are touched only by those who have won them. That is, only the team that has won the trophy and the player who has won the medal should touch them. Perhaps that is why the PM did not touch the trophy and just held the hands of Rohit and Rahul. Team India has also presented a jersey named NaMo to PM Modi.
The triumphant Indian Cricket Team met with the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modiji, at his official residence today upon arrival.
