Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted the India Women’s team at his residence after Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. clinched the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. Under the leadership of Harmanpreet, Team India outclassed defending champions Australia in the semifinal and thrashed South Africa in the final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai to claim their maiden ICC title.

Prolific Indian opener Pratika Rawal, who emerged as one of the leading run-getters of the tournament, was unfortunately injured prior to India’s knockout fixtures. Nonetheless, a wheelchair-bound Pratika attended the felicitation ceremony at the Prime Minister’s residence.

The Indian Women’s team attended the residence of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, November 5 for a World Cup felicitation ceremony. While PM Modi congratulated the players and the support staff during their interactive conversation, the entire team was also greeted with a celebratory lunch at the residence.

Injured Pratika Rawal, who was in her wheelchair, seemingly struggled to take food on her own, prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to step forward and personally serve her. The heartwarming gesture reflected the Prime Minister’s humility and genuine care for the players, adding an emotional touch to the occasion.

Apart from the moment of heartwarming gesture on part of the Indian Prime Minister, the Indian women’s team also gifted Narendra Modi a specially designed Indian jersey, inscribed with his moniker ‘NAMO’.

Nonetheless, Pratika Rawal, although injured for the semifinal and the final, starred in the tournament by aggregating 308 runs in just six innings at a prolific average of 51.33. She plundered one match-winning century against New Zealand, and another sizzling fifty against Australia in the league stage.
