India's squad for the Women's World Cup 2025 has been revealed, and selectors have dished out a strong squad with a good blend of youth and experience. It is a home tournament as well, so the expectations are pretty high, and Harmanpreet and Kaur would be itching to create history and win their first-ever World Cup title.

However, for that to happen, India need both senior and young players to deliver. Many youngsters are playing their first ODI World Cup and would be confident of pulling out some special things after an impressive performance in England.

Thus, in this article, we will look at the three Women's ODI World Cup debutants who can help India lift the title.

Pratika Rawal

Pratika Rawal has started off her ODI career with a bang and has quickly made a permanent place at the top of the order alongside Smriti Mandhana. She made her debut last year against West Indies and has already hit one century and five fifties in her career.

Thus, it has helped India get to a strong start in the 50-over format, and her partnerships with Smriti Mandhana would be crucial in the World Cup as well. If she notches up some big scores in the World Cup, it could help India build a solid foundation for the middle order to dominate.

Along with the bat, she is quite handy as an off-break bowler, making her a key asset in the upcoming ODI World Cup.

Kranti Goud

Kranti Goud, the right-arm pacer from Madhya Pradesh, was pretty impressive in the three-match series against England recently. She made the new ball talk and picked nine wickets in just three matches against a strong English team.

The 22-year-old was the leading wicket-taker of the series, and thus her spells with the new ball would be crucial for India. If she can get rid of top-order batters from opposition teams on a regular basis, it could help India take a strong position early in the game.

Amanjot Kaur

Amanjot Kaur is the seam-bowling all-rounder who would be key to India's balance in the upcoming Women's World Cup. She can open the bowling and has the potential to complete her 10 overs regularly. With the bat, she displayed her class in the T20Is against England recently. If she can replicate that batting form in the upcoming World Cup, it could increase India's batting depth, and the top order can afford to play more freely.

On flat pitches in India, her power-hitting skills can also prove crucial. Thus, Amanjot Kaur's is one of India's ODI World Cup debutants who can help them lift the title.
