2 November 2025 will be engraved in golden letters in the annals of Indian cricket history; this is the day when, for the very first time, the Indian Women’s Cricket Team won the ICC Women’s World Cup on Indian soil. The whole nation rejoiced at the monumental victory scripted by the women in blue as it brought together millions of people in pride and celebration. From packed stadiums to buzzing social media feeds, India celebrated the triumph of the women in blue-a triumph that will inspire generations to come.
The full force of India’s batting and bowling resources came to the fore in the final against South Africa. An explosive 87 off 78 balls by Shafali Verma set the tone for a commanding total of 298-7. Deepti Sharma’s sensational all-round performance, highlighted by a stunning spell of 5 for 39, sealed the deal as India bowled out South Africa for 246 in 45.3 overs despite Laura Wolvaardt’s valiant century of 101 off 98 balls. The visitors thus fell short, handing India a well-deserved and historic win.
This win seals India’s maiden Women’s World Cup triumph, which had come after a series of near misses with final defeats in 2005 and 2017. The result confirms India’s supremacy in women’s cricket and will be an iconic moment of women’s empowerment in all sports in the country.
As celebrations swept the country, Bollywood and sports personalities joined the chorus of admiration. Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor posted an emotional post on Instagram in which she wrote: “A proud moment for INDIA, for SPORT, for each and every GIRL who dared to dream… 2-11-2025, a date etched in history.” She also posted a picture with captain Harmanpreet Kaur, whom she described as “our great captain.”

Rajamouli praised the team’s spirit for “a fitting end” and commended Deepti and Shafali for their brilliance. Former cricket host Mandira Bedi hailed the victory, saying, “This wasn’t just a win; it was a shift in the heartbeat of every little girl who will now dream without apology.” The triumph of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup is more than a sporting milestone; it’s a symbol of progress, resilience, and the power of dreams. The women in blue have not only won a trophy but have also ignited a revolution that would inspire generations of Indian girls to believe that even they can conquer the world.
