[WATCH] Former Indian women's legends share emotional moments during Women's World Cup 2025 trophy celebration

On their third attempt, India’s women's side, under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, finally broke the jinx of 2005 and 2017 to claim the 2025 edition title by beating South Africa in the final at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Apart from Laura Wolvaardt’s century, none of the Protea players were able to stand in the middle with the bat.

They shared the moment with the former players, Jhulan Goswami, Mithali Raj, and Anjum Chopra, who lifted the field and shared an emotional moment. Harmanpreet shed light on the moment and looked back at how they promised them of the success.

“Jhulan di was my biggest support. When I joined the team, she was leading it. She always supported me in my early days when I was very raw and didn't know much about cricket. Anjum di, too. Both of them have been a great support for me. I'm very grateful that I got to share a special moment with them. It was a very emotional moment. I think we all were waiting for this. Finally, we were able to touch this trophy.” Kaur expressed after the end of the clash.

In the same post-match ceremony, Kaur thanked her seniors for supporting her when she was new to the team. The BCCI secretary, Devajit Saikia, has also announced a cash prize of INR 51 crore for the success.

“I've played many World Cups with her [Mandhana]. Every time we lost, we went home heartbroken and stayed quiet for a few days. When we returned, we always said, 'We have to start again from ball one. ' It was heartbreaking because we played so many World Cups - reaching finals, semi-finals, and sometimes not even that far. We were always thinking, When will we break this?” Kaur added.
