Exactly a month ago, at the stroke of midnight, India lifted the World Cup,& the trophy finally came into the hands of one of its most deserving winners.
Here’s to the one who showed up for 23 yrs when not many did. The things you do, do things to you.
Happy birthday, Mithali. ❤
Every Indian feels immense pride in Team India’s World Cup victory. It was a delight interacting with the women’s cricket team. Do watch! https://t.co/PkkfKFBNbb
I am soo happy for the team & all the pioneers who deserved this trophy. But Mithali hugging that trophy healed something in me. Someone who dedicated her last years of career just to win that WC, it was fulfilling. More than raising that trophy, she just wanted to hug it. 🫂❤
What happened last night is a testament to the fact that when you give wings to a dream, dreams do come true.
The girls were brilliant, but one must acknowledge the support behind this watershed moment, four years of planning and belief. When @JayShah Sir was the BCCI Secretary, the @BCCI introduced initiatives that changed the course of women’s cricket, from equal match fees and the Women’s Premier League to a stronger domestic structure, India A tours, and a thriving U19 pathway.
Now, the @ICC continues to shape the women’s game, with the World Cup being hosted at home and the prize pool raised to 13.88 million dollars, a fourfold increase that shows how far the game has come.
For every person standing behind a young girl who dares to dream of wearing India’s colours, this is a pivotal moment, a reminder that dreams do come true when those dreams get the support they truly deserve. ❤️
