Former India captain Virat Kohli was among the first to shower praise on the Indian women’s team after their historic ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 triumph. Kohli took to Instagram to pen an emotional note, applauding Harmanpreet Kaur and her team.

At DY Patil Sports Academy, the Indian women’s team put on an impressive display in the final match, powered by Shafali Verma’s quickfire 87 and Deepti Sharma’s five-wicket haul to win by 52 runs.

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s team have been building towards this moment for years having narrowly missed out in previous editions.

Winning is only about lifting the World Cup, but changing perceptions, and beliefs, beyond that trophy.

The Indian Women's team has come close for years, worked hard and carried the hopes of a nation. Now they have turned that hope into reality.

The victory will inspire a new generation of girls to take up cricket, showing them their aspirations can shine just as bright as the men's team. 

With this victory, Harmanpreet Kaur and the rest of the team have ensured, women's cricket can never look the same in India again, it will now have greater support, bigger audiences, and more respect.
