Mrs Nita M Ambani called the second edition of ‘United in Triumph’ a “thank you” on behalf of every Indian to India’s three World Cup-winning teams: men’s, women’s and blind women in Mumbai on Monday.
Speaking about the unique power of sport and its transformational impact, Mrs Ambani said: “Sport joins hearts and India. Today we are united in triumph. We are going to celebrate them and celebrate their victories.”
She added, “I think we are starting the New Year with a very special occasion. All three cricket teams, the men’s cricket team, the women’s cricket team and the blind cricket team of India are all here under one roof, and on behalf of every Indian, we are going to honour them tonight for giving us so much joy and happiness.”
On a starry, glittery night, a constellation of top athletes and para-athletes made the occasion memorable. At the heart of the celebration were India’s three World Cup-winning captains — Rohit Sharma, Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepika TC — whose leadership, resilience and belief have shaped historic victories and inspired a nation.
The evening also saw the presence of the World Cup-winning team players — Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Ganga Kadam, alongside cricketing greats Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Ravichandran Ashwin, Olympic and Paralympic legends including Murlikant Petkar, Deepa Malik and Devendra Jhajaharia, and leading figures from Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, creating a rare and powerful confluence of India’s most admired icons.
United in Triumph reflects Mrs. Ambani’s vision of sport as a force for excellence, inclusivity and unity, celebrating not just victories, but the values and purpose that define India’s sporting journey.
