India’s head coach Amol Mazumdar called the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 victory “surreal,” admiring his players’ resilience and fighting spirit that carried them through a thrilling campaign.
Speaking to ANI, Mazumdar shared, “It’s been surreal. This entire campaign has been surreal. We started off nicely with two wins, and then we lost those matches. Loss is a very harsh word, I feel we just couldn’t go and cross a line on those occasions, but the way these players came back and fought it out in the middle, it just goes to show what characters they are and the fight that they showed against Australia. The way they came back against Australia and then the finals, the emotions were absolutely flowing. It’s just an amazing campaign, and I’m really happy and thrilled for these girls that they’ve become world champions.”
A Campaign Built on Resilience and Unity
Mazumdar described the 2025 triumph as one of the most cherished moments of his life. The players’ emotional reactions after the final, he said, revealed the true depth of what the win meant to them.
“It is sinking in slowly. It was one of the best nights of my life. The players were right at the centre, they were really emotional, but that’s what it meant for them to win the World Cup…” the 50-year-old added.
For India, the victory was a historic breakthrough. After coming agonizingly close in 2005 and 2017, the Women in Blue finally lifted the ICC Women’s World Cup trophy. They defeated South Africa by 52 runs in a commanding display of all-round excellence.
Deepti and Shafali Shine in India’s Historic Win
In the grand finale, Shafali Varma produced a stellar all-round performance, scoring 87 runs and taking 2/36. Deepti Sharma matched her brilliance with 58 runs and a sensational five-wicket haul (5/39). Their performances anchored India’s dominance and turned the final into a memorable showcase of composure and class.
Deepti’s consistency throughout the tournament earned her the Player of the Tournament award. She became the first cricketer in Women’s World Cup history to score more than 200 runs and pick over 20 wickets in a single edition. Her final performance symbolized India’s balance between youth, experience, and unshakable belief.
A Defining Chapter for Indian Women’s Cricket
With this historic title, India joined Australia, England, and New Zealand as World Cup champions and, like the latter two, achieved it on home soil for the first time.
