Sehwag bats for Dipa and Lalita
Former
Test opener Virender Sehwag on Monday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi
to honour Dipa Karmakar and Lalita Babar for their outstanding performances at
the Rio Olympics.
Battling
against all odds, Dipa took the fourth spot in vault gymnastics, while Lalita
came 10th in the final of the 3000m steeplechase.
“Everyone
likes saluting the rising sun. Though our champions at Rio have thus far not
won a medal for their incredible efforts and skills, the way some of them have
fought against all odds has been amazing,” tweeted Sehwag.
“What Dipa
Karmakar and Lalita Babar, have achieved despite the enormous challenges they
have faced through their personal situations, is truly exceptional. It’s
important that we honour their efforts,” said Sehwag.
He
requested Modi to consider, “naming a special plane and train after these two
young athletes (even if it is a special for a few days and at the cost of not
causing confusion) which, in a way, will encourage parents and inspire many
youngsters to take up less popular sports as a career.”

I strongly support Our Beloved Shabag;s suuggestion. Deepa & lalita should be given all the national help to augment their goal. They should have traning in the best possibe places in the word.All indians irrespective of religion, caste creed & our so called open mouth political masquraders & vested interested media will also support this. We indians are proud of these two athelites. Thanks for sharing this amazing post.
