After India’s historic World Cup title win, Surat-based industrialist and Rajya Sabha member Govind Dholakia announced a massive reward for the Women in Blue. Dholakia expressed his wish to gift the team diamond jewellery and solar panels as a token of appreciation for their brilliance and resilience.

To initiate his plan, he wrote a letter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Honorary Vice President Rajiv Shukla ahead of the final match on Sunday. 

Dholakia requests BCCI to honour the team with gifts

Dholakia's request almost turned out to be a prediction of what was to come, as he made the offer even before the results were known. 

"To celebrate their extraordinary journey, we at Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK) would be honoured to present each member of the champion Indian team with handcrafted natural diamond jewellery, a token of appreciation for their brilliance and resilience. Along with this, we would also like to gift rooftop solar panels for their homes, so that the light they bring to our nation continues to shine in their own lives as well," the letter stated.

Dholakia, notably the founder and chairman of Shri Ram Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd., is well-known for his philanthropic work. His unique idea of gifting solar panels reflected his vision for sustainability and long-term impact.

While Dholakia announced such a thoughtful gesture, the BCCI also declared a ₹51 crore prize money for the Women in Blue, who triumphed at D.Y. Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai by defeating South Africa Women.

Deepti Sharma was the star of the match, both with the bat and the ball. The all-rounder slammed 58 runs with the bat, but what was more crucial was her five-wicket steal, which ended South Africa's hopes for their maiden World Cup title under the night sky of Mumbai.
