The World Cup-winning Indian women’s cricket team is set for a grand week of celebrations as they are likely to meet President Droupadi Murmu in New Delhi on November 6 — a day after their scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led team, who scripted history by clinching India’s maiden ICC Women’s World Cup title, landed in the national capital on Tuesday evening to a hero’s welcome.
Upon their arrival at the Taj Palace Hotel, the players and support staff were showered with rose petals and cheers from fans and hotel staff. The joyous atmosphere soon turned festive, with Jemimah Rodrigues, Radha Yadav, and Sneh Rana joining in impromptu celebrations, dancing to the beats of dhol as their teammates and supporters applauded.

India’s 52-run win over South Africa in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai has been hailed as a watershed moment for Indian cricket. The victory not only secured India’s first-ever women’s World Cup but also made them just the fourth team in history—after Australia, England, and New Zealand—to lift the coveted trophy.
President Droupadi Murmu lauded the team’s triumph on X, calling it a “watershed moment for women’s cricket,” while PM Narendra Modi praised their “exceptional teamwork, tenacity, and confidence.” Both leaders expressed pride in how the Women in Blue have inspired a new generation of athletes, with this win marking a defining chapter in Indian sporting history.
