In a proud moment for the nation, the Indian Women’s Cricket Team is all set to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on November 5. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side created history by clinching their maiden ICC Women’s World Cup title on Sunday in Navi Mumbai, defeating South Africa by 52 runs in a thrilling final. With this victory, India became only the fourth team after Australia, England, and New Zealand to lift the coveted trophy — marking a golden chapter in Indian cricket. The meeting with PM Modi will be a moment of celebration and national pride for the Indian Women’s Cricket Team.
According to a Sportstar report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) received an official invitation from the Prime Minister’s Office on Monday. The players, currently in Mumbai, are expected to travel to Delhi on Tuesday evening for the special meeting before dispersing to their respective homes. This gesture by the Prime Minister further highlights the government’s recognition of the growing strength and success of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team.
During a public event in Saharsa, Bihar, PM Modi praised the champions for scripting history and bringing glory to the nation. He said, “Yesterday in Mumbai, India’s daughters have created history. India has won the Women’s Cricket World Cup for the first time. After 25 years, the world has got a new world champion, and India’s daughters have given this pride to the entire nation.”
He further added that these players, hailing from small towns and humble backgrounds, symbolize the nation’s growing self-belief. “These are daughters of our farmers, labourers, and middle-class families. I am proud of them, and so is the nation,” the Prime Minister said, lauding the Indian Women’s Cricket Team for inspiring millions across India.
Meanwhile, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia announced a cash prize of ₹51 crore for the World Cup-winning team as a token of appreciation.
