Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has applauded the Indian team for winning the Women’s World Cup 2025. He also added that the Indian women’s team’s maiden win in a marquee event would transform the game of cricket as well. However, India beat South Africa by 52 runs in the Women’s World Cup 2025 final in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, November 2 as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Harmanpreet Kaur’s girls have scripted a new story. The girls shone. We have become the world champions and created history. The names of every player in this team will be written in golden letters. They have done a job like that. They are our pride. We have got a new winner after 25 years, and that champion is India. This moment is ours, this century is ours. November 2, 2025 – remember this moment, because cricket will never be the same again.”

However, Aakash Chopra also stated that the effect of India’s World Cup 2025 win would have been realized only after the win was sealed as well.

“The confidence was there. There was no doubt that we were going to win the game, but until you win, you are unable to feel the win, and are unable to understand the gravity of that moment. When Harmanpreet Kaur held that catch, that catch won everyone’s hearts. We have realized once again that we are the center and everything of the universe at this point in time. The girls have made us feel extremely proud. This is that watershed event where everyone who watched will want to become the next Jemi, Harman or Smriti. Women’s cricket was getting better continuously, but they were waiting for that one moment, a spark that turns into a fire. This was that spark that was needed,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
