Last night on November 2, history was made by the Women in Blue. India women's national cricket team beat South Africa by 52 runs in an intense match at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, and won the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, our very first! After a terrific performance on the pitch, Shafali Verma was honoured as Player of the Match. The trophy was lifted by the Women in Blue, but it felt like a personal win for the entire nation. Post the match, several stars celebrated the proud moment on social media. Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor compared this victory to the legendary 1983 Cricket World Cup win, when Team India defeated the West Indies to claim their first World Cup title.
Shraddha Kapoor took to her official Instagram handle to share, “For decades sirf parents se sunte thhe what 1983 felt like. Humein humara yeh wala moment dene ke liye 🫡 Thank you girls 🙏🇮🇳 This is for generations.” Lauding the Indian women’s team, Amitabh Bachchan tweeted, “T 5552 - जीत गये !!! 🇮🇳🇮🇳 India Women Cricket ..
