[WATCH] Crying Rohit Sharma's emotional scene post India's Women's World Cup 2025 final win goes viral
Watch the video where the ODI opening batter of the Indian side, Rohit Sharma, was seen to burst out in tears in an emotional scene after India won their maiden Women's World Cup 2025 final against South Africa.
Rohit Sharna, India’s ODI opening batter, was present at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai to enjoy the final of the Women’s World Cup 2025 between India and South Africa. After the catch of Harmanpreet Kaur to dismiss the last batter of the South Africa side, Rohit was seen to bust out in emotion.
Indian women made it into the final of the Women’s World Cup twice before, in 2005 and 2017, but they faced defeats in both games against Australia and England, respectively. But on the third occasion, they finally broke the jinx and got the better of the Rainbow Nation to claim the title.
In the final of the World Cup, India’s opening partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Varma put up a fine stand of 104 runs. The former dashed 45 runs in 58 balls at a strike rate of 77.59 while Varma clubbed a fine knock of 87 runs in 78 balls at a strike rate of 111.54, smashing seven boundaries and two over boundaries.
