Former MCA President Ajay Shirke: The Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) extended heartfelt congratulations to India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and felicitated her with a Rs 50 lakh award on Saturday for her role in India winning the ICC Women's ODI World Cup a few days back.

Mandhana played a key role in India's historic triumph at the ICC Women's World Cup 2025.

Her match-winning century against New Zealand in the league stage, earning her the Player of the Match honour, stood out as one of the tournament's defining moments and paved the way for India to reach the semifinals and subsequently become world champions.

"In recognition of her extraordinary contribution, the Maharashtra Cricket Association is pleased to felicitate Smriti Mandhana with a Rs 50 lakh award, celebrating her excellence and her invaluable role in elevating Maharashtra's and India's stature on the global stage," the MCA said in a statement.
