An emotional night for Indian cricket

India, which had lost in the finals in 2005 and 2017, finally achieved its dream. This victory moved millions of cricket fans across the country and ushered in a new era in women’s cricket. While the World Cup may have come under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur, it’s a legacy of decades of struggle.

Legends like Jhulan Goswami, Mithali Raj, and Anjum Chopra laid the foundation for it with their hard work. When India became champions on Sunday, these former players couldn’t hold back their tears of joy. Following the trophy presentation, the players took a lap of honor around the field. Meanwhile, the Indian team met Jhulan Goswami, Mithali Raj, and Anjum Chopra, who were in the commentary box.
