India, Nov. 10 -- November 2, 2025, will always be etched in the annals of Indian cricket history. It was the day when the Indian women's cricket team finally laid to rest the ghost of their past to lift the World Cup for the first time ever. Years of heartbreak, agony and disappointment became a thing of the past as under Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian women's team defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the final to clinch the silverware.

The emergence of the Women's Premier League, coupled with the hard work put in by the players and coach Amol Muzumdar, paid off as India became your women's World Champions.
