“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.
