Virat Kohli poured praise on India’s women cricket team after they lifted the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 trophy – a win that will inspire girls across the country for years to come.
On X (the new name for Twitter), the former India captain wrote: “Inspiration for generations to come, you’ve made every Indian proud with your fearless cricket and belief throughout. You guys deserve all the accolades and enjoy the moment to the fullest. Well done Harman and the team. Jai Hind.”
India made history on Sunday night in Navi Mumbai, beating South Africa by 52 runs in the final at the DY Patil Stadium to capture the first Women’s ODI World Cup title in the nation’s history.
Under skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian side delivered a dominant all‑round performance. Shafali Verma smashed a fluent 87, Deepti Sharma steadied the chase with a composed 58 and a five‑wicket haul, while rookie Amanjot Kaur sealed a dramatic catch to dismiss Laura Wolvaardt in the 42nd over. These moments turned the match into a landmark moment for Indian cricket.
Kohli’s tribute reflected a nation thrilled by the result. Men’s teammates, former stars, fans, and even Bollywood actors crowded the stadium to cheer on the women’s side for their grit, skill, and composure under pressure.
This triumph places India among the elite group of Women’s World Cup winners and showcases the rapid rise of women’s cricket in the country. By winning the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, the team has become a beacon for young girls who dream of stepping on the global stage.
“An inspiration for generations to come,” Kohli emphasized, underscoring how the victory will motivate countless girls to pick up a bat and aim for India’s future glory.
With this historic win, India’s women cricketers have etched their names into the sport’s annals and highlighted a new era of female sporting excellence in the subcontinent.
