India has become a superpower in world white-ball cricket, says BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia

BCCI official Devajit Saikia recently praised India's dominance in limited-overs cricket following dual gold medal victories for the men's and women's squads at the continental multisport games. The men's side secured their title by defeating Pakistan by 19 runs after posting a total of 211 for 6, while the women triumphed over Sri Lanka by 147 runs during their respective campaign earlier in the tournament.

Saikia attributed this unprecedented level of success to the exceptional depth of the domestic talent pool and the readiness of the reserve roster. Individual batting contributions in the title match came from notable performers like Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, and Shivam Dube, alongside bowling breakthroughs by Axar Patel and Washington Sundar.
