India Wins 2025 Women's ODI World Cup
The Indian women's team beat South Africa by 52 runs to win the final of the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup and made India a world champion. The team has earlier reached the finals in the years 2005 and 2017, but it had lost both times. This win marked India's first Women's World Cup title.
Ashwin Shares His Thoughts on the Victory
Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin spoke about the women's team's achievement on his YouTube channel. He said that after the win, the Indian women's team gifted the trophy to their former captain Mithali Raj. He congratulated them on this and stated that the men's team had never done something similar.
Respecting Past Generations
Ashwin felt that players often tend to discuss how the previous generation did things, but they never give enough credit to those who played earlier. He appreciated the women's team for recognizing their seniors. He said Team India, too, handed the trophy over to Anjum Chopra and Mithali Raj as they looked emotional and happy during the moment.
A Victory Built Over 25 Years
Ashwin was underlining the fact that this success did not happen overnight, as if it was the culmination of 25 years of sweat and toil by both players and coaches.
Success of the Women's Team: Impact
For Ashwin, this victory of the women's team means more than many of the previous World Cup victories: it will encourage many young women in India to take up cricket as a career.
