Becomes India’s leading run-getter in a Women’s World Cup edition I know what they’ve been through all these years - Rohit Sharma Speaking in a video shared by the ICC at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, Rohit Sharma said that the India Women's team have come very close to winning the title, but have failed to cross the finish line. He said: “I know what they’ve been through all these years, chasing that elusive trophy. It’s always been tough. We’ve come very close so many times, but couldn’t cross the line. It’s been the same story for both teams over the last 15 years. I really hope they cross it this time." Along with them, the entire nation is behind these 15 players - Rohit Sharma The World Cup-winning captain further lauded India Women's for playing sensational cricket in the last few years and was hopeful of the team finally crossing the finish line and winning their first-ever World Cup. He said: “The way we played that game was just superb to watch. So I’m not surprised to see 50,000 people here today. Along with them, the entire nation is behind these 15 players." "They’ve already taken giant strides in the last five or six years — and it’s only going to grow from here," Rohit added. “I hope they get the crown today. It would benefit not just these players, but also the younger generation looking up to them. There are no better ambassadors for the game than the ones out there right now."
