Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the champion Indian team at his residence in Delhi. During the meeting, he also took a dig at Player of the Tournament Deepti Sharma. He referred to her as DSP Deepti and also mentioned her tattoo. He also said, "I've heard you show some bullying on the field." All the players laughed at this, and Deepti responded with patience. She also revealed her own story about bullying. This excerpt from the conversation is after the 10th minute of the Twitter video.
"And DSP, what did you guys do?"
PM Modi jokingly asked Player of the Tournament Deepti Sharma, "And DSP, what did you guys do today? You must have been keeping everyone informed. You must have been controlling things!" Everyone laughed at this. Deepti replied, "I was just waiting to meet you. I remember you told me in 2017 that a player is one who learns to get up and walk after falling. Just keep working hard, never stop working. That line of yours motivates me." I keep listening to your speeches. You have a lot of patience. You say a lot of things, but even in that, you handle things with great patience, and that helps me in my game.
PM Modi Talks About Deepti's Tattoo
PM Modi spoke about Deepti's tattoo. He said, "If you keep walking around with this tattoo, how does Hanumanji help you?" The Indian players were surprised that PM Modi was even aware of it. Deepti said, "I believe in him more than myself. Whenever I face difficulties, I take his name and I come out of them. I have so much faith in him." To this, PM Modi said, "You even write 'Jai Shri Ram' on your Instagram account."

PM Modi said, "Faith plays a big role in life. It means that we have entrusted our joys and sorrows to someone, and they will take care of it." "But Deepti, your bullying on the field is very prevalent. How much truth is there in that?" Deepti replied, "No, sir, there's nothing like that. There's one thing I'm afraid of, and I can tell you that. That's the throw. I say, these are your own teammates, throw with ease."
PM Modi spoke about his mindset of staying in the present.
PM Modi told Captain Harmanpreet, "You guys must be wondering why this is happening. Despite that, you must have had so much courage and kept everyone united... You encouraged us. There must be a reason for that." Harmanpreet said, "The entire credit for this goes to the entire team. Everyone believed that we were getting better with every tournament. As Sir said, he's been working with us for the last two years. In these two years, we worked on our mental strength, because what happened was in the past. We couldn't change it." To this, PM Modi replied, "So, I taught you to live in the present too." Harman said, "This mindset of living in the present has helped us a lot. I learned this from you... and the coach also guided us in this way, so we felt we were on the right path."
