01:04you were only five months old. Can you talk to me about what exactly happened? How did you lose your vision?
01:11Partially? When I was five months old, I got to know that I was blind. After that, my mother went to
01:20Bangalore and went to the doctor. But she said that after 11 years, we can do the operation.
01:30But now we have to do the operation. We have to do the operation. We have to do the operation.

02:00in Narayana Netra에. And they said that they didn't come. They had a whole vision. They had
02:05full of problems. But the person thought that they didn't come. They didn't come.
02:08So I said that I didn't come. But my dad got a little upset. But I understood that I have
02:14But I have understood them, some people don't see anything in society, one eye is that I am happy to see them.
02:27You are in B3 category, so you have a little partial vision.
02:31Yes, I can see this as well.
02:36Initially I think agriculture was the sole primary income, but now you are working at the office of chief commissioner
02:43of Income Tax Mumbai as a multi-tasking staff if I am not wrong.
02:48Yes, I have a lot, but after I joined cricket, I have a lot of financial help.

03:46So Samarthanam trust, you have a lot of help financially.
03:56I was also reading that your inspiration is Virat Kohli.
03:59Your favorite cricketer is Virat Kohli.
04:01So was that a factor why you got into cricket?
04:06I play in school.
04:09I always say that.
04:11I stay on the ground, attitude and aggressive.
04:15How do I follow the same attitude?
04:20I follow the same.
04:22My manager, Kshika ma'am.
04:25She also says,
04:27I like Virat Kohli.
04:39Divika, you talked about your family challenges.
04:42You gave your family support from your father and mother.
04:46If you talk about society, what do you have to face?
04:50What do you have to face?
04:51What do you have to face?
04:52In society, we see girls, especially,
04:57people are completely below.
04:58But what do they do?
05:00What do they do?
05:01How do they do?
05:02They have questions.
05:03But especially, we have a lot of blind.
05:06But in my family, I have a lot of students.
05:08But I have studied in 1 to 4th normal school.
05:12And until 4th to 10th, I have studied in blind school.
05:16When I joined in blind school,
05:20we all talk about my family.
05:22I have joined in blind school.
05:24How do they learn?
05:25How do they learn?
05:26How do they learn?
05:27How do they learn?
05:28This is a whole question mark.
05:29Now, we get a scribe for the board exam.
05:36Now, I have a scribe for the 10th exam.
05:39I have a scribe for the 10th exam.
05:41I have a question mark.
05:43How do they get passed?
05:45No, I have a scribe for the 10th exam.
05:47I have a scribe for the 10th exam.
05:49I have passed.
05:52But after that, I have won the IBAC World Games in 2023.
05:58I have won the gold medal.
06:00After that, I have won the newspaper and social media.
06:04I have spread a little bit of newspaper and social media.
06:08After that, I have won my father and mother.
06:11I have told them that my son did something.
06:15She did something good.
06:16She did something good.
06:17She also encouraged me.
06:20Especially my mother.
06:22She said, no, you are not going to leave.
06:24Why are you playing?
06:25How do you act?
06:26How do you play?
06:27Do not do anything at all.
06:29This was so much fun.
06:30Like first, I went to cricket.
06:32She helped me.
06:33She helped me.
06:34She helped me.
06:35They understood me.
06:36But I was a whole family.
06:39I was a whole village.
06:40So, I had a little time for them.
06:44I think there are a lot of questions that people ask about how do you study in school?
06:53The lack of awareness is to see how much we are aware of our society.
06:58Then we ask such questions.
07:00Deepika, you are also captain.
07:03How do you bond your team ahead of these cricket matches?
07:10In our team, I am proud of my team.
07:17We are very good players in our team.
07:21We were all-rounders.
07:23We were all senior players.
07:27We were all national and state captains.
07:34We are very proud of our team.
07:40I am proud of our team.
07:43We are very proud of our team.
07:46We are very proud of our team.
07:55I am proud of our team.
07:57We are very proud of our team.
07:59Right.
08:00Communication is good in the team.
08:03Deepika, we have seen that the national women's team clinched the victory.
08:08And our manager told us yesterday that you guys have been following the cricket religiously.
08:14You were following the cricket matches.
08:16You were following the cricket matches.
08:17You were following the cricket matches.
08:18You were following the cricket matches.
08:19So, they are also sharing you.
08:20First of all, how do you feel about the World Cup win?
08:23And what do you feel?
08:24Can you manifest that you are in the same place?
08:26And what are you taking the World Cup?
08:28Definitely, ma'am.
08:30We are one in our head.
08:33Yes, they have won the women's team already.
08:37We will definitely win the match.
08:41I don't know what happens.
08:44How will I ask you?
08:45I am one in our team.
08:50Think about your country.
08:53My mom and my dad have struggled so much.
08:56Think about it.
08:57We will play well.
08:59Definitely, I will give the name of Baarat.
09:02We will win the match.
09:04There are a lot of visually impaired girls and women.
09:07They have a dream to get into sports.
09:09To involve themselves.
09:11To be active in their social lives.
09:13So, what will they give you a message for those people?
09:15Because from a very early age, when you were only 5 months old.
09:19You have faced these challenges.
09:20What will they give you a message for those people?
09:22The most important things is that you have to give you a message.
09:25But one of our parents wanted this most.
09:27In good shape, they是 Book for the majority.
09:28And they are good.
09:30Especially in the vision impaired.
09:32But because you don't see it.
09:34You don't see it.
09:36That's why the parents always wanted this.
09:39They don't do it.
09:41Don't do it.
09:43They just did it.
09:44They don't make it.
09:45In sports, dancing or singing.
09:47What is interest they always start with parents.
09:50We will definitely reach the goal, we can reach it in this goal
09:59Including in example, but my father and mother said to me that I don't want to reach it
10:09You are also a good singer, do you have some singing?
10:13Okay
10:15I am always a good singer, do you have some singing?
10:30I am always a good singer, do you have some singing?
10:37I am always a good singer
10:41Beautiful. I mean, I can't believe your voice is so melodious.
10:47Deepika, you also like football. Any particular team or any player that is your favorite?
10:57I don't know. I follow a lot. Maybe Red Kuli, Roy Sharma, MS Dhoni and women's team. I like Smitty Mandana.
11:08Okay. Last question. What is the request from the Government of India?
11:12Because yesterday I talked to you. She was telling me that in training there will be more help from the Government of India.
11:18So it will be more beneficial for the players to train to avail those facilities.
11:23So what is your request from the Government of India? What more do they can do to help you guys?
11:28What is my request from the Government? We can help them to practice.
11:37But when we played three or four World Cups, they didn't have a job.
11:46They didn't have anything else to say about them. But if they give a job, they can help us with a whole family.
11:55So I request them too.
11:57But how do we support normal cricket players?
12:03So I request them too.
12:07Thank you so much, Deepika.
12:09I wish you all the best for tomorrow's match.
12:12And hope that you guys will win the World Cup altogether.
