Their stunning display brought the nation together, marking a watershed moment for women’s cricket in India. Former cricketers like Jhulan and Anjum, who were present at the venue as broadcasters, joined the celebrations on the ground. A particularly emotional moment saw Jhulan embracing captain Harmanpreet Kaur after the victory, a gesture that went viral on social media.

“The wait was long, but the joy… unmatched.”

“The girls have made our dreams a reality. Here’s to a glorious new era for the #WomenInBlue.”
Both veterans highlighted how the team’s achievement symbolizes a turning point for Indian women’s cricket, paving the way for a stronger sporting future.
