PM Modi’s Heartfelt Gesture: Serves Food to Injured Cricketer Pratika Rawal

In a touching moment following India’s Women’s World Cup victory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally served food to injured player Pratika Rawal during the team’s official dinner at his residence.

Pratika, who missed the semifinal and final due to an ankle injury sustained against Bangladesh, attended the event in a wheelchair. When Modi noticed she hadn’t been served, he asked with a smile, “Aapko koi kuch de nahi raha? Kya pasand hai aapko?” — a gesture that instantly went viral online.

The Prime Minister spent time interacting with each player, hearing their stories of struggle and triumph. Pratika shared how her teammates decided to dedicate their World Cup win to her, carrying her onto the stage during the trophy ceremony despite her injury. “This team is like a family,” she said emotionally. “When we respect and support each other like this, no one can defeat us.”

PM Modi praised the team’s spirit, saying, “Team spirit isn’t just shown on the field. When you live and play together, you build bonds that help cover weaknesses and amplify strengths.”

The dinner captured the spirit of India’s victory — not just athletic excellence, but the unity, compassion, and resilience that define true champions.
