India, Nov. 16 -- Cricketer Pratika Rawal missed out on being a part of the women's cricket team that lifted their maiden World Cup trophy on November 2 owing to an injury, but even from the sidelines, the 25-year-old shone just as bright. In fact, the way she supported the team - cheering from her wheelchair with a cast on her leg - became one of the most stirring images of the tournament. The win, she proudly says, "was never about one person, it was about India". For the cricketer, the joy wasn't dimmed by circumstance. "I was honestly just super excited for our team," Pratika shares, adding, "I really believe in staying present and letting go of what you cannot change. In that moment, what mattered most was that our goal of becoming World Champions had been achieved. We had worked so hard for it as a unit, and the happiness of doing it together was overwhelming." The team's victory celebrations extended to New Delhi, where they met the Prime Minister and the President. Recalling the moment, she shares, "It was a very special memory for all of us. You don't often get such a chance, so we felt very grateful. What resonated with me most was when they spoke about how we now have the opportunity to inspire the next generation of women athletes, and how every platform we get should be used to motivate others."...
