What a moment of pride! 💙
Our Women in Blue have made history and touched a billion hearts. Your courage, grit, and grace have brought glory to India and inspired countless young girls to dream fearlessly.
You didn’t just lift a trophy, you lifted a nation’s spirit.
Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
She rose where dreams were trembling still,
With fire that no storm could kill.
A century carved in courage,
Jemimah, this will be spoken for ages! 🇮🇳
