A light-hearted moment featuring Rohit Sharma and Nita Ambani stole the spotlight during the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 final, even as India scripted history by lifting their maiden World Cup title. The amusing incident, which took place at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, went viral on social media and left fans in splits.
As India faced South Africa in the title clash, the VIP box was filled with familiar faces — from business magnates like Nita Ambani to cricket stars such as Rohit Sharma, who attended the match with his wife Ritika Sajdeh. During the game, cameras captured a playful moment when Rohit was seen glancing at Nita Ambani’s phone screen. The brief but funny clip quickly spread online, sparking a flood of memes and witty fan reactions.
One user quipped, “Mai hota to mai bhi dekhta (I would’ve looked too),” while another joked, “Can’t text now, Ro is next to me!” Others joined in with playful comments, suggesting that Nita Ambani might have been “adding items to her cart” and that Rohit was simply curious. The lighthearted exchange became one of the most talked-about off-field moments of the final.

Meanwhile, on the field, the Women in Blue delivered a clinical performance to clinch their first-ever Women’s ODI World Cup with a commanding 52-run victory over South Africa. Batting first, India posted a formidable 298/7, powered by Shafali Verma’s 87, Smriti Mandhana’s 45, and Deepti Sharma’s unbeaten 58. Richa Ghosh’s brisk 34 also provided late momentum. For South Africa, Ayabonga Khaka impressed with three wickets, but her efforts couldn’t stop India’s surge.

In reply, South Africa’s chase revolved around captain Laura Wolvaardt’s superb century, but the rest of the batting order crumbled under pressure. Deepti Sharma’s five-wicket haul and Shafali’s two key scalps sealed India’s historic triumph as they bowled the Proteas out for 246.
While the women’s team’s success marked a new chapter in Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma’s presence in the stands reminded fans of his own leadership milestones. The veteran opener guided India to their 2024 T20 World Cup victory and the 2025 Champions Trophy in the UAE, ending the nation’s long ICC title drought.
