In a video message congratulating the Indian women's cricket team, Tiwari said, \u201cToday, they have put India\u2019s flag in the world. They have fulfilled the dream of Indira Gandhi that Indian women can do anything. They can make every impossible possible -- in every field, whether it is fielding, batting, a test of patience, whether it is sending the ball beyond the boundary or flying the wicket as a bowler.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOur daughters have been successful in everything. We are proud of our daughters. Today, India is proud. The country is proud. Once again, many congratulations. I will say one thing, Chak De India!\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Congress leader\u2019s message came amid nationwide celebrations after India\u2019s women\u2019s team clinched their first-ever Women\u2019s ODI World Cup title, defeating South Africa by 52 runs at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
All-rounder Deepti Sharma was the star performer, scoring 58 runs and taking a five-wicket haul to seal the win. Put in to bat, India rode on Deepti\u2019s 50 and a solid top-order effort to post 298\/7 in 50 overs. The South African chase, anchored by captain Laura Wolvaardt\u2019s valiant innings, ended at 246 in 45.3 overs, as the Indian bowlers held their nerve to script history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With this win, India became only the third country, after England and Australia, to have won both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s ODI World Cups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
