On her day of triumph, Deepti dedicated the POTS trophy to her parents and said winning the maiden World Cup title feels like a dream.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Honestly, this feels like a dream because we have not been able to come out of that emotion. Feeling really nice, I could contribute this way in a World Cup final,\" said Deepti, who claimed scored a fighting 58 and claimed 5-39 in the final to make it possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We have always thought about how we can use the takeaways from every match. Thanks to them (the people), this would not have been possible. As a team, we are feeling very happy,\" said Deepti in the post-match presentation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She said she enjoyed whatever role was assigned to her by the team management. Deepti came in at a crucial time and, after India lost skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, held the innings together to help them set a big total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I always enjoy, whichever department I am in, or whichever situation I am in. I wanted to play according to the situation. Enjoyed a lot. As a stage, to perform as an all-rounder, it cannot be a more amazing feeling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She praised South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt, who waged a lone battle and kept her team in contention with a fighting century (101). She said the Indian players did not lose their nerves as the South Africans fought back.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I always enjoy, whichever department I am in, or whichever situation I am in. I wanted to play according to the situation. Enjoyed a lot. As a stage, to perform as an all-rounder, it cannot be a more amazing feeling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked what she wants to change in women's cricket, Deepti said, \"There has been a lot of change since 2017. I hope there are even more matches now (for us). I just wanted to dedicate this (POTS) trophy to my mom and dad.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
