The event was held at NMIMS, Mukesh Patel Auditorium, in the presence of Ashish Shelar, Minister of Cultural Affairs, Government of Maharashtra. It was curated by Deepak Pandit, former Assistant Commissioner of Customs & GST, and Selector, Manager and PRO of The Juniors Indian Cricket Team.

In a historic win, the Junior Indian Cricket Team defeated Pakistan to lift the 1996 Junior World Cup at Lord’s, England. Many of the stalwarts of the 1996 team, including Captain Reetinder Singh Sodhi, Vice-Captain Mohammad Kaif, and Coach Sarkar Talwar, were felicitated on the stage.

The event concluded with a celebratory cake-cutting to mark the 75th birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Speaking at the occasion, Deepak Pandit said, “The victory at Lord’s in 1996 was not just about winning a trophy – it was about showing the world the power of Indian grit, teamwork, and belief. This evening is a salute to that spirit, and to the players who made our nation proud,” as per a press release.
Mohammad Kaif, Vice-Captain of the Juniors Indian Cricket Team, further added, “Coming together after so many years brings back a flood of memories – the hard work, the passion, and the joy of seeing the tricolour fly high. We were just boys then, but our hearts beat for India.”
