ICC Women's World Cup 2025: Our women in blue secure the first ever world title!

Besides being the host country, India also wins BIG at the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 by taking home the championship trophy for the first time in 47 years.

Sports isn't a respectable career for women in India. Even mentioning this here feels like saying all crows are black; both of these are facts! Why? Well, long story short - patriarchy. Have women in sports still held up the finger to people holding them back? Duh! Beating South Africa by 52 runs in the final at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Yastika Bhatia, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Sree Charani, Radha Yadav, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaud and Renuka Singh Thakur create history as they take home the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 trophy for the first time in 47 years. 

Talking about this win without quoting Shah Rukh Khan multiple times is pretty impossible; from "ladkiyan Basketball nahi khel sakti" and "yeh sattar minute", we've remembered each of these moments while watching the finals yesterday! Hence, the reaction from quite a few on the internet, about the stadium being full for a women's match or how the entire country has gathered to watch this match, echoes our own sentiment.

Everyone is watching women’s cricket today. The shopkeepers are watching, the sabzi wallas are watching, men in tea stalls are watching.
It feels different this time, seeing people genuinely excited, talking about players, celebrating every shot.

For once, it doesn’t feel like…

Only a few people know how hard it is for women to pick up sports as a career in this country. What this team has done today will change the tide for women sport. Just absolutely tearing up at the thought.

Never in my life did I imagine that one day the entire nation would stay awake to watch women’s cricket and completely forget that a men’s T20 even happened just a few hours ago🥺🇮🇳

This win coinciding with Shah Rukh Khan's 60th birthday is probably the biggest soney pe suhaga moment for Bollywood and cricket fans across the globe - it gave us our very own Chak De! India moment :')

This victory marks a defining chapter for women’s cricket in India, their first-ever World Cup triumph, achieved on home soil and built on a story of determination and resurgence. The trophy symbolizes a turning point for women’s sports in the country, promising greater visibility, stronger grassroots development, increased investment and a surge of national pride that could inspire a new generation of players. It's not for nothing that this win is being compared to our 1983 Men’s World Cup win when we discuss national significance.
