HYDERABAD: Hyderabad Cricket Association president A Jagan Mohan Rao congratulated the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team on winning the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai on Sunday.

Interestingly, HCA Secretary R Devraj is the manager of the Indian team and he flew back during the league stage because of the demise of his mother only to rejoin the team again. In a way, Devraj joins P R Man Singh, who was also HCA secretary, when he was the manager of the victorious Indian team in the 1983 World Cup.
