In his address to the 18th Convocation of Tezpur University, Assam, via video conferencing, Modi again praised Team India for their valiant efforts.

“Indian team faced a lot of challenges in the recent tour of Australia. They suffered crushing defeat yet recovered equally fast and won the next match. The players showed determination despite injuries. They took the challenge head on and looked for fresh solutions instead of getting frustrated by difficult conditions,” Modi said.

“There were inexperienced players but their morale was high and they grabbed the opportunity given to them. They overpowered a better team with their talent and temperament,” he added.

He even emphasized on the learnings from failure, the similar way India bounced back after the crushing defeat of 36 in Adelaide. 

“There is no harm in occasional failure and one should not refrain from taking the risks. We need to be proactive and fearless,” he said.

“If we overcome the fear of failure and unnecessary pressure, we will emerge fearless. This new India, confident and dedicated to goals, is evident not only on the cricket field, all of you are part of this picture,” Modi added.
