It has always been a great last few days for the head coach of the Indian women’s team, Amol Mazumdar, under whom the Blue Brigade earned success by winning their maiden season of the World Cup 2025 by beating South Africa in the final at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. They finally lifted the trophy on the third occasion after missing on the previous two attempts in 2005 and 2017.
Mazumdar returned home amidst a grand welcome in Vile Parle Mumbai where the crowd surrounded him by showing their love and respect lifting the bats, which is a special trend in this game. It was a great show from the head coach to turn the table after a poor middle phase of the competition.

“I don't know. I really don't know. But I'm sure, as I said, they deserve everything that will follow from here on. And I know for a fact that they've worked extremely hard for this. And I think it's a watershed moment for Indian cricket. Absolutely proud. There's no doubt about it. I don't know, it's not yet sunk in, but it's an unbelievable achievement by all the girls.” Mazumdar addressed post the final.
“We didn't look at those losses as losses. We just thought that we just couldn't get over the line, that's about it. We dominated a lot of, you know, in those games we dominated a majority of those matches. So we didn't look at those as losses. We just thought that, yeah, there are some hiccups in the campaign, but we were still alive in the tournament.” The head coach of the women’s Indian team shed light.
