New Delhi – After a night of cheers in Navi Mumbai, India’s women’s cricket team lifted their first ICC World Cup trophy, beating South Africa by 52 runs in the final.
The triumph came at the DY Patil Stadium and marked a historic moment for Indian women’s cricket. Harmanpreet Kaur, the team’s skipper, guided her players to victory, ending a long wait for India’s maiden ICC title.
The coach of the men’s side, former captain Gautam Gambhir, and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav both congratulated the women on social media. Gambhir posted, “You have not just created history, you’ve created a legacy that will inspire generations of girls! #LegendsForever.” Yadav added, “What a historic moment for Indian cricket. Our Women in Blue have shown the world what passion, perseverance and belief can achieve. Congratulations.”
India’s win follows a heartbreak in the 2017 edition, when the team lost the final to England. This victory feels even more special for players like Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami, legends who never lifted the trophy in their long careers. They received the cup during the celebration, honoring the senior players and the effort that led to the win.
The packed crowd erupted in celebration as the women carried the trophy. Fans described the night as a turning point for women’s cricket in India, a “new era” that comes after years of fighting for equal recognition.
Readers worldwide now remember the name Harmanpreet Kaur and the phrase “Women in Blue” as symbols of resilience, teamwork, and historic achievement in international cricket.
