00:00I would like to congratulate all of you that we have won a gold medal in the first world cup for the whole of India.
00:09Priyanka Ingle is a very good player whom we have selected for the all-rounder.
00:16Because that girl is as good a defender as she is a strong chaser.
00:23She has speed, endurance, strength, everything.
00:27She has all the motor abilities and she is also a very disciplined girl.
00:31So, as a captain, I selected her.
00:34And for this, she showed her full performance and became a role model in the world.
00:40She is a little senior player in both, but she plays well.
00:44On the first day, she also got an award for best attacker.
00:47When we played the match on the 14th, she also got an award.
00:52She is also a good player, but she is a senior player and a young player.
00:57In South Asia, she was the captain of the Indian team and I was the chief coach of the Indian team.
01:04In the 4th Asian Championship, she was the captain.
01:08And this time, Priyanka Ingle took that position.
01:13For this, I would like to congratulate Priyanka Ingle.
01:16And our entire committee decided that Priyanka Ingle is the captain of the Indian women's team.
01:24In the final of our 4th Asian Cup, we played against this team.
01:29And again, we played against them in the World Cup.
01:32And I had hope, because we saw that they have the ability.
01:35But we studied their weakness and recorded it.
01:39And we used it in the daily projector.
01:41We told the players about their weak points.
01:44And Priyanka Ingle, who is our captain, understood this.
01:47And the rest of the players also supported her.
01:49And we adopted the same thing.
01:51Whenever their coverings attacked us, we used to make a gap on them.
01:55Because when they made a gap, we used to get an area to escape.
01:58The players took care of those things.
02:01And the result of that is that we have the World Cup.
02:03Priyanka Ingle and Nasreen Sheikh, both have been the captains of India.
02:06And both have been captains in my leadership.
02:09So it is my good fortune that I have been their chief coach.
02:12I have a player from Delhi, Arjun Awadi.
02:16Priyanka Ingle is also with me.
02:18She was a player before, and today she is the captain.
02:20So I know their understanding.
02:22We started them in different ways.
02:24I am in the middle, and you both are in the middle.
02:26And the rest of the players are in the same chain.
02:28And that chain has given you the gold medal today.
02:31Khokho has won today.
02:33A very successful World Cup.
02:35And with that, India won both the books.
02:39We won both the World Cups.
02:41What can be more proud for an Indian than this?
02:45Today, we are very emotional.
02:48Because the dream we saw came true.
02:51We succeeded in making the country proud today.
02:56That's all I can say.
02:58The word goes, Khokho.
03:00The word goes, Khokho.
03:02The word goes, Khokho.
03:04This group will continue to grow.
03:07This group will continue to grow.
03:09Today you heard that in 2027,
03:11in Birmingham,
03:13there will be the next World Cup.
03:15The team has come there.
03:17And they have promised that there will be a bigger movement than this.
03:20So this group will continue to grow.
03:22And the whole world will see Khokho.
03:25This Khokho game is the game of the future.
03:28It's going to be there.
03:30Naturally, the last match between India and Nepal.
03:34The heartbeats had increased.
03:36And the joy of victory.
03:38Our country was successful.
03:41The last match between India and Nepal.
03:45The heartbeats had increased.
03:47And the game we won.
03:49We established our pride and honor.
03:53There was no moment of greater joy than that.
03:56I will say the same about the game.
03:58Our team.
04:00I said it again and again.
04:02We got a very good, balanced team.
04:04Our planning and strategy.
04:06All the boys played accordingly.
04:08Looking at the team,
04:10the strategy we made,
04:12the planning we did,
04:14the boys played accordingly.
04:16And you must have seen that
04:18step by step, match by match,
04:20we improved.
04:22The first match was from Nepal.
04:24It was the final match.
04:26We won with a little less margin.
04:28The next match was with more margin.
04:30Covering all the shortcomings,
04:32removing all the shortcomings,
04:34taking all the shortcomings,
04:36we won the World Cup.
04:38This was our hope.
04:40It was complete.
04:42But we didn't expect so much competition.
04:44This is what we got from the government.
04:46We still got support from the government.
04:48We got full support in the World Cup.
04:50But I would say
04:52that our
04:54international-Indian game,
04:56if we
04:58want to
05:00take it to the world,
05:02we have to send our coaches.
05:04We have to give them coaching.
05:06We have to set up a coaching camp.
05:08We have to call their coaches
05:10and tell them about the game.
05:12So that they can
05:14go to their country and play.
05:16And we got success in this.
05:18Earlier,
05:20we sent some coaches.
05:22And because of that,
05:24many teams performed so well.
05:26Now,
05:28this game is being played in 55 countries.
05:30And our presidents,
05:32Mr. Sudhanshu Mithra,
05:34Mr. M.S. Nagji,
05:36their aim is that
05:38in the next 2-3 years,
05:40not only in 55 countries,
05:42but in more than 100 countries,
05:44if it becomes very popular,
05:46then only we can claim
05:48that in Asia
05:50and in the upcoming Olympics,
05:52our game should be played.
05:54This World Cup,
05:56it will have such an impact,
05:58not only in India,
06:00it will have such an impact in the whole world.
06:02In the coming time,
06:04since our Ultimate Coco League
06:06started,
06:08it has had such an impact
06:10that in every lane,
06:12they used to say,
06:14it is a game of mud.
06:16And their competition has started.
06:18So you will see,
06:20when our league drafts,
06:22those kids are being selected
06:24who have not played nationally,
06:26who have not played in a big competition,
06:28but they are playing so well
06:30that they got a chance.
06:32So,
06:34this is how it will be played.
06:36This will be such a victory
06:38because the team has played very well.
06:40I am very happy as a captain
06:42that I have fulfilled
06:44my responsibilities very well.
06:46The Coco Federation of India
06:48chose me as a captain,
06:50and I had a lot of responsibility
06:52that the first World Cup of Coco
06:54will be played in India.
06:56We have worked very hard for this.
06:58We should prepare a lot
07:00because Coco has gone to the whole world.
07:02They will also practice a lot.
07:04And in the coming time,
07:06we will represent India
07:08in Commonwealth and Asian Games.
07:10They will also come fully prepared.
07:12We will have to work hard
07:14at a different level to play against them.
07:16We had such a hope
07:18that we will play against Nepal
07:20in the international competition.
07:22We have played against Nepal
07:242-3 times.
07:26We played against Nepal
07:28in the Asian Championship
07:30in 2023.
07:32We saw the match of all the teams
07:34and we were confident
07:36that Nepal will play in the final.
07:38Today, I am very happy
07:40because India came first.
07:42This is the first World Cup
07:44and we came first.
07:46And I am proud
07:48for Dream Run.
07:50This is a proud moment
07:52for India.
07:54In the 2036 Olympics,
07:56we will practice
07:58so well
08:00and we will
08:02come first in the Olympics.
08:04I am feeling very good.
08:06We had worked very hard
08:08for this.
08:10The World Cup of India
08:12should be played in our country.
08:14We had worked very hard
08:16for this.
08:18Our camp was going on for a month.
08:20I am very happy.
08:22It is good that we got a chance
08:24to have two captains
08:26old and young.
08:28First of all,
08:30I would like to thank
08:32Sudhanshu Mittal
08:34who is our president.
08:36He supported me a lot.
08:38And my mentor
08:40Ashwini Kumar Sharma
08:42I feel that
08:44I have played
08:46the most in the
08:48international team of India.
08:50I want my kids to get a chance
08:52to play in the international team.
08:54It is good
08:56to say goodbye to the international team.
08:58If I get a chance,
09:00I would like to play
09:02in the CoCoFederation of India
09:04in the coaching line
09:06or in any field.
09:08But as a player,
09:10I will not play in the CoCoFederation of India.
09:12There was a lot of pressure.
09:14But the coaches told me
09:16to execute the plan.
09:18I knew how to
09:20handle the pressure.
09:22The players knew
09:24to play in the pressure.
09:26I could see that
09:28they were playing in the pressure.
09:30I told them not to play in the pressure.
09:32Today, we have to play our game.
09:34I was releasing their tension
09:36not to play in the pressure.
09:38I told them to play in the pressure.
09:40I told them to play in the pressure.
09:42All the players did the same.
09:46I would like to congratulate them.
09:48They listened to me and the coaches.
09:50They played without any pressure.
09:52We won the match.
09:54Yes, definitely.
09:56We thought the match
09:58would be tough.
10:00But the players did a great job
10:02in the fourth turn.
10:04We were completely defeated.
10:06In the last 2-3 minutes,
10:08we realized
10:10that India has become
10:12the world champion.
10:14I think there is no hope
10:16of retirement.
10:18No one is going to retire.
10:20In the coming days,
10:22many players will play.
10:24In the Olympics
10:26or the World Cup,
10:28these players will play.
10:30I think the government
10:32has supported us.
10:34Mr. Priyanka always said
10:36that this is our own game.
10:38It is our country's game.
10:40He has supported us
10:42to move forward.
10:44I think he will continue
10:46to support us.
10:48There are many series
10:50and tournaments
10:52coming up.
10:54The government will support us
10:56as they have done today.
10:58I am thankful for that.
11:00I think Priyanka is my favorite player.
11:02I have been watching her since childhood.
11:04I like her speed.
11:06Everyone has seen her
11:08in the finals.
11:10She has played a one-sided match
11:12and won her country.
11:14She is my favorite.
