So proud! As an alumna, it's heartening to see our university making a mark in national sports events. The emphasis on teamwork over individual stardom is the real lesson here. Wishing the team a speedy recovery for the injured players and more victories ahead!
Well done team! While this is a great achievement, I hope the university administration now invests more in proper sports infrastructure and physiotherapy support. Injuries shouldn't be a regular part of the competition narrative. The players deserve better facilities.
Congratulations from a sports enthusiast in Delhi! The IIT sports fest is highly competitive. To come second among teams from across India is a massive achievement. The sportsmanship mentioned is as important as the win. More power to such events!
Bahut badhiya! This is how you build all-rounders. In a country obsessed with cricket and engineering entrance exams, it's refreshing to see basketball getting its due. Hope this inspires more colleges in NCR to take inter-university sports seriously.
As a parent, I love reading such stories. It proves that success isn't just about IITs and medical colleges. Our youth can shine in so many fields. Hats off to the coaches and the support staff behind this team. True champions!
