- Indian women created history before a packed D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on 2nd November 2025, winning the Women’s ODI World Cup defeating South Africa by 52 runs.
- If the team’s astounding run to the final in 2017, slaying giant Australia en route, is often cited as the cornerstone of a revolution, the maiden championship win is the fulfilment of a gritty effort to match promise with performance.
- Harmanpreet Kaur and team are often held to the standards set by that 2017 campaign.
- The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a massive cash award of Rs 51 crore for the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team and the support staff after India’s historic triumph.
