New Delhi, Nov 6 (UNI) Members of the Indian Women Cricket team which won the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan today.
The President, while congratulating each member of the team, said they have become role models. The younger generation, especially girls, will be inspired to move ahead in life.
She expressed confidence that with the same qualities with which they have written history, they will keep Indian cricket at the top in future as well.
The President said they have created history by winning the Cricket World Cup and millions of Indians in every corner of the country and abroad are celebrating this victory.
‘’This team reflects India. They represent different regions, different social backgrounds, different circumstances. But they are one Team—India. This team shows India at its best,’’ the President said.
The team, by defeating the seven-time world champion and then-undefeated Australian team, strengthened the belief of all Indians in their capability. Winning the final match by a large margin against a strong team in a tough match is a memorable example of Team India’s excellence, she said.
The President said team members must have experienced the ups and downs of hope and despair. Sometimes they would have even lost sleep. But they overcame all challenges.
She noted that after the victory over New Zealand, people strongly believed that in spite of the ups and downs in the match, ‘’our daughters would prevail.’’
The President underlined that their hard work, excellent playing skills, determination, and the love and blessings of their families and cricket lovers, have been behind their success.
She said that in a team game like cricket, all team members have to remain fully committed at all times. She appreciated all - head coach, bowling coach, fielding coach, and support staff and wished that they would continue to create new records of success for Team India with their performances.
