The success of the women’s team was met with huge enthusiasm across the country, with a legion of fans and several cricketing personalities extending their congratulations to Harmanpreet Kaur and co.

Shraddha Kapoor extends congratulatory note for Team India
Mere weeks after Shraddha Kapoor acknowledged Indian men’s team for their comprehensive Asia Cup 2023 win in Sri Lanka, she took to her Instagram account and congratulated women’s troops for clinching Gold Medal at the Asian Games in China.
Sharing a heartfelt note on her story, the Bollywood actress wrote:
“Golden Girls. What a proud feeling!!! Macha Diya!!!”
In the final, Team India charted up 116-7 on a tough Hangzhou surface off the back of rebellious 40s from Jemimah Rodrigues and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur herself failed to get going in her comeback game, as none of the other batters in the line-up managed to overcome double-digit scores in the innings.
Defending a moderate total, 18-year-old pacer and recent debutant Titas Sadhu claimed three Sri Lankan wickets all while conceding just six runs from her four overs. Rajeshwari Gayakwad also struck twice in her spell while Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar and Devika Vaidya all claimed a wicket each to restrict Sri Lanka to a silver medal finish.
