Yadav, who picked four wickets in three games for the women in blue, was overwhelmed with the occasion and said the win means a lot to the players, families, and everyone who showed faith in the team. India defeated South Africa in the final at the DY Patil Stadium to claim maiden World Cup. "It feels really good. This win means so much to all of us — for our families and for everyone who supported us," Radha Yadav told TimesNow. "It was a very special moment for all of us. We’ve been playing together for a long time now, so the bonding in the team is really strong. Everyone knows what to do in good times and how to handle things in tough situations. Certain players really stepped up, and that unity made a big difference for us. Radha also lauded the fans for the incredible support throughout the campaign, saying that their energy pushed the players to give their best. "Yes, it was incredible! When South Africa hit a four or a six, the stadium would go silent — everyone just wanted India to take wickets or hit boundaries. Honestly, it was a very special night for us, and Indian fans are truly amazing. They make everything easier for us — their energy pushes us to give our best," she added.
