Women on the Go

A Spectacular Night for Women’s Cricket

Last night was a spectacular one for women’s sports as the Indian women’s cricket team delivered an exemplary performance to secure India’s first-ever Women’s ODI World Cup. The tournament had its share of surprises, but the Indian women beat the odds with grace, resilience, and pure sporting spirit.

Just two years ago, during the men’s ODI World Cup, India entered as favorites — yet fate had different plans. The two World Cup journeys couldn’t have been more different. The men’s series was surrounded by political overtones and expectations, and in some places, we saw unruly crowds and misplaced aggression. The true spirit of sportsmanship seemed to fade amid the noise.

In contrast, the 2025 women’s series was a celebration of effort, teamwork, and dignity. Every match reflected respect for the game and its global spirit. It wasn’t an easy path for the Indian women, but their determination and composure defined the triumph.

At the end of the day, cricket transcends gender. It’s about passion, perseverance, and pride in representing one’s country. Congratulations to the Indian women’s team for taking Indian cricket to new heights — proving that excellence knows no boundaries, and the spirit of the game shines brightest when played with heart.
