After the presentation ceremony concluded, the team\u2019s celebrations peaked when they started a victory lap, with legends of the game - Mithali, Jhulan Goswami, and Anjum Chopra joining them. Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. handed over the trophy to the former cricketers and celebrated, making it an emotional moment for the trio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mithali, who drew curtains on her career three years ago, marking the 2022 edition of the World Cup as her swansong, was elated to see her team carrying the legacy forward, and reserved special praise for the Indian and global cricketing organisations for their constant backing of the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhat 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\u2019s cricket, from equal match fees and the Women\u2019s Premier League to a stronger domestic structure, India A tours, and a thriving U19 pathway.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Notably, India beat South Africa by 52 runs in the final on Sunday night at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai to lift the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup trophy, capping off a campaign that will be remembered for its courage, flair and emotion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
