"The strength of the team is each member. The strength of each member is the team." – Kapil Dev

Sports not only build character but also nurture discipline, teamwork, and resilience. GIIS Ahmedabad proudly witnessed a moment of glory when its Under-14 Boys’ team showcased remarkable talent and determination at the CBSE U-14 West Zone Cricket Tournament held in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The event brought together 71 schools and more than 650 students, making it a grand stage for young cricketers to shine.

Among the talented participants, Samaksh Saxena, a student of Grade 7 (Morning Shift), stood out with his exceptional skills and consistent performance. His dedication and passion for cricket earned him a spot in the 15-member West Zone Cricket Team, a remarkable achievement that paves the way for his participation at the national level. This milestone reflects not just individual brilliance but also the spirit of teamwork and perseverance fostered at GIIS Ahmedabad.

This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support and mentorship of Coach Mr. Anmol, whose guidance has been instrumental in shaping the young cricketer’s journey. Samaksh’s success is a demonstration of GIIS Ahmedabad’s focus on nurturing holistic development — where sports, academics, and character-building go hand in hand.

Principal Mr. Caesar D’silva shared his heartfelt pride in this achievement, stating, "Samaksh’s selection into the West Zone Cricket Team is a proud moment for our school community. It reflects the dedication of our students and teachers, and our commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals. Achievements like these inspire others to dream big, work hard, and excel in every field they choose."

This proud moment once again reinforces GIIS Ahmedabad’s belief that every child has the potential to achieve greatness when provided with the right guidance and encouragement. The school remains committed to offering an environment that fosters excellence, sportsmanship, and confidence — empowering students to become champions both on and off the field.
