Delhi: The victory in the ICC World Cup 2025 not only made India the fourth team to win this title and included it in the champion club of Australia (7), England (4) and New Zealand (1), it has also made a historic beginning.

‘This is just the beginning,’ was the powerful promise made by captain Harmanpreet Kaur after the victory. Now the aim is to make the Indian women’s cricket team not only better but also a consistent champion.

The World Cup had not been won till now and this wait is over. The captain said, ‘Next year, there is the World Cup and then the Champions Trophy. There are so many big opportunities coming up, we just want to keep getting better. How will this dream come true? Thanks to the revolution that will come from this victory!

New era of Indian cricket begins

That is why this World Cup victory is going to ‘start a new era of Indian cricket’. From the heartbreak in 2005 to the match in 2017, every tear, every hard work, every dream of every young girl who played cricket, all accounted for and an inspiration for the future. Memorable moments in women’s sports in India can be counted on fingers and this also adds to it.

In 1983, Kapil Dev’s team inspired an entire generation to dream big and chase those dreams.

Now the Indian women’s cricket team has done something truly special and has inspired countless young girls across the country to pick up the bat and ball, take the field and believe that they too can win a trophy one day.

This victory became an inspiration for many girls

This is a moment in the journey of Indian women’s cricket that will change women’s cricket in India forever. That one night inspired many girls to pick up a bat or throw a ball and decide to become a cricketer. Who knows, the thinking of many parents will change.

It is not that the girls who won the World Cup are the gift of big cricket centers and cities famous for cricket. Moga, Sangli, Mumbai, Siliguri, Rohtak, Agra, Chandigarh, Mohali, Prem Nagar, Eramalle in Andhra Pradesh, Rohru in Himachal Pradesh…. This is actually the map of cricket in India. It will not take long for it to become bigger, provided the intention is strong and BCCI’s support continues.

Overnight, women’s cricket will become professional because finally women’s cricket also got its 1983 moment. India will celebrate this for a long time.

It was a unique night not only for Harmanpreet, Smriti, Jamie and every girl playing today, but also for every player sitting on the bench and for every girl in the country in whose eyes this victory awakened a dream.
