Siyaram’s, a leading textile brand in India, has been collaborating with Blind Welfare Organization for 9 years to host an annual inter-state blind cricket tournament called "Siyaram’s Cup".
Siyaram's’ Ramesh Poddar-Chairman & MD on this momentous occasion was very excited and mentioned, “Unfortunately, in our nation, there are uncountable numbers of visually challenged persons who go way beyond their boundaries to follow their passions creating limitless opportunities not only for cricket but definitively also in their personal lives.
The tournament was held in Mumbai from 11th to 13th January 2023, with 8 teams from different states across India participating.
The tournament ended with the Gujarat team winning and the Maharashtra team being the runner-up.
Blind cricket is a modified version of cricket adapted for visually challenged players, with rules similar to regular cricket but with some differences, such as the ball filled with ball bearings, 10-inch wide stumps, and the use of the sweep shot. The event was a showcase of the passion and determination of visually challenged players to overcome limitations and achieve success.
