The country gathered on social media to celebrate India’s historic win in the ICC 2025 Women’s World Cup final against South Africa at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. From Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Sachin Tendulkar and Neeraj Chopra all congratulated the team on the achievement. Harmanpreet Kaur’s side defeated the Proteas by 52 runs, making India only the fourth nation to claim the trophy, joining Australia, England, and New Zealand. Asked to bat first, India posted 298/7, the second-highest total in tournament history, built around Shafali Verma’s blistering 87 and Deepti Sharma’s composed 55. Smriti Mandhana added 45, capping off a record-breaking campaign with 434 runs. South Africa’s chase revolved around captain Laura Wolvaardt’s brilliant 101, but Deepti’s all-round brilliance (5/39) and Shafali’s timely double strike sealed India’s triumph. PM Narendra Modi wrote on X, “A spectacular win by the Indian team in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Finals. Their performance in the final was marked by great skill and confidence. The team showed exceptional teamwork and tenacity throughout the tournament. Congratulations to our players. This historic win will motivate future champions to take up sports. #WomensWorldCup2025” Virat Kohli took to Instagram to react, saying, “The girls have created history and I couldn’t be more proud as an Indian to see the hard work of so many years come to life finally.
