Which Indian team did Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulate on 14 September 2026 for winning the Asia Cup?
- A.The Men's Cricket Team
- B.The Women's Cricket Team
- C.The Junior Men's Hockey Team
- D.The Women's Kabaddi Team
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Women's Cricket Team. The Prime Minister congratulated the Indian Women's Cricket Team on winning the Asia Cup and opened his message by calling the result a proud moment for Indian cricket. Option A is the trap here, because a men's tournament of the same name is played as well and candidates who register only the words Asia Cup and cricket often pick the wrong side; the release names the women's team specifically. Option C is wrong because it belongs to a different sport, and the Asia Cup in question here was a cricket competition. Option D is wrong for the same reason, since kabaddi does not figure in this release at all. A dependable habit in current affairs is to fix three things together for every sporting result: the sport, whether the men's or the women's team won it, and the exact date on which the message or the result was recorded.
