Winning Womens ODI World Cup Meant A Lot, Had Dreamt About Lifting ICC Trophy: Harmanpreet

ODI World Cup: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said lifting the 2025 Womens ODI World Cup had fulfilled a dream that had driven every woman who had ever played cricket for the country and meant a lot to her team. In the final, India beat South Africa by 52 runs to lift the trophy for the first time at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Harmanpreet, who took the last catch of the final to seal the title in Indias favour, spoke with deep emotion about what the victory meant to a generation of cricketers who had waited years for the moment. It meant a lot to us because from the day women's cricket started, we have been dreaming about lifting the ICC trophy. All the women cricketers have been dreaming about that. But I think our team was able to do that, so I'm very, very proud of this team. So, I think it means a lot, and hopefully we'll continue winning ICC titles, and after winning, you feel amazed, and I think it's a great feeling. So, I'm really happy that as a team we were able to do that, she said in a panel discussion at the BCCI Awards in New Delhi on Sunday evening. She also recalled the nerve-shredding tension of the final moments before the win in the final was sealed. 100 percent. I think the last wicket that we were looking for, we were all just praying that we would just get that wicket. I think not only I, but everyone in the team, was waiting for that opportunity. I feel blessed that the last catch came to me. I took so many catches, but that was a catch that I will remember for the rest of my life, and I'm grateful that that last catch came to me. Harmanpreet also shed light on one of the more difficult tactical calls of the campaign - the decision to rest Jemimah Rodrigues for the clash against England in Indore. That was a very hard call for us because I think we knew that we had four, five batters, and all of them had to take the responsibility for the team. But when one batter is a little bit underconfident, and I think Amol (Muzumdar, head coach) sir and I, we had a very good discussion that sometimes that small break can always give you a lot of confidence. I think that was a great move, I would say, because I was still in a little bit of doubt whether we should give her rest or not, but I think Sir was very clear. I think that little break gave a lot of confidence because sometimes, as a batter, we overthink. I think that break gave her time to think about what she needs to do. I think after that, the way she came back, and I think the rest is the result. Credit goes to her for the way she handled the situation. I think as a player, we all have gone through this situation, and we know what we need to do for our team. I think all the credit goes to her and how she handled and how she performed when the team needed it the most. Looking beyond the trophy, Harmanpreet reflected on how dramatically the landscape had shifted for the next generation of women cricketers. Well, I think at least from now, girls don't need to go through the time that we went through in earlier days. We didn't know about women's cricket, but we were still playing cricket. But now, at least, there are so many opportunities, so many platforms. I hope that the time we went through, they are not going to go through that time. But now it's only about taking sport as a career and doing the things that you love. I think now opportunities are there. Now it's only about you going there and taking this sport seriously. On the role of the WPL in accelerating the transformation for womens cricket in the country, Harmanpreet said the tournament had been the catalyst in changing the entire landscape of women's cricket in India. I think that changed the entire women's sport. We were really waiting for that opportunity. But I think not only for us, but for all our domestic cricketers, I think it's a great platform for them. So we are really happy that we got this opportunity. I think we have seen in four years that we got the ICC title. Before that, we had been working hard, but sometimes you need that little push, and that little push really helped us. Now, as Surya (Suryakumar Yadav) said, there is no looking back, and hopefully we'll keep making the BCCI and our country proud. I think that changed the entire women's sport. We were really waiting for that opportunity. But I think not only for us, but for all our domestic cricketers, I think it's a great platform for them. So we are really happy that we got this opportunity. I think we have seen in four years that we got the ICC title. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He deferred it entirely, saying the women's team had earned the right to be judged on their own outstanding record. I mean, I think they've been doing so well. I don't think they need anyone's advice. They've been doing so well in the white ball, and we're very certain that they're going to do great in the World Cup as well. Article Source: IANS

Former Athletes Should Return As Coaches To Strengthen Indian Sports, Says Anurag Thakur

AC Bali Table Tennis Tournament: Former Union Sports Minister and Member of Parliament (MP) Anurag Singh Thakur said there should be efforts made to ensure former athletes are brought back into the Indian sporting ecosystem as coaches and mentors, adding that the country is wasting a valuable resource by leaving experienced ex-players in administrative office roles. Thakur made the call while addressing sports journalists on day two of the Golden Jubilee National Convention of the Sports Journalists Federation of India (SJFI) at the Constitution Club of India - an event hosted by the Delhi Sports Journalist Association (DSJA). Many players who got jobs through sports are now working in offices, while many of them could be involved with the game again as coaches or mentors. They may contribute far more to sports in those roles, he said. Thakur also pressed for a data-driven approach to athlete development that would allow talent to be identified and nurtured from the earliest stages of a sporting career. We need to analyse data and create a proper tracking system for the entire journey of an athlete so that talent can be identified early and groomed with the right support, he said. Thakur also called on the state governments to shoulder greater responsibility for building the infrastructure and human resources that India's sporting ambitions require. Sports is largely a state subject, and states must increase their budgets, build infrastructure, and hire more coaches if we want better results in the future, he said. On institutional accountability, Thakur insisted that policy recommendations must translate into measurable outcomes. Institutions are very important. We must evaluate what has been achieved after recommendations are made and assess whether our systems are actually producing results, he said. DSJA president Abhishek Tripathi underlined the significance of the occasion for the federation and the broader sports journalism community. It is a proud moment as the SJFI celebrates its Golden Jubilee. We are delighted to welcome sports journalists from across the country to Delhi and grateful to Anurag Thakur ji for interacting with the fraternity, he said. Several figures from the sports and corporate world were felicitated during the day's proceedings - like Shivalika Chadha Malik of Hero MotoCorp, Manva Sudarshan Hunswadkar of KRAFTON India, and Udita Dutta, founder and CEO of Artsmith, in recognition of their contributions to the sporting ecosystem.

Rishabhs Century Powers North Zone To A Big Win In JK Bose Inter-Zonal T20 Cricket

Tamil Nadu Sports Journalists Association: Rishabh Singh blazed an unbeaten century off just 43 balls to power North Zone to a commanding nine-wicket victory over West Zone in the JK Bose Inter-Zonal T20 Cricket Trophy on Saturday, as the Sports Journalists Federation of India's Golden Jubilee National Convention got off to a spectacular start. At the Roshanara Cricket Club, Singh was the centrepiece of a dominant North Zone chase, hammering 102 not out with 18 fours and two sixes as his side overhauled a target of 134 in just 11.1 overs. Captain Akash Rawal contributed a brisk 29 in support. West Zone, who opted to bat, were bowled out for 133 in 19.2 overs. Sanjeev Samyal top-scored with 30, with Taus Rizvi (24) and Ashwin Ferro (23) offering useful contributions. Vinay was the standout bowler for the North Zone by taking three wickets. At the Delhi Police Ground, the South Zone were equally emphatic in defeating the East Zone by eight wickets. Shiva Krishna set the platform with a devastating spell of 4-5, as the East Zone were bowled out for a paltry 49. Vijeth Kumar then finished the job with a rapid 26 off 15 balls as South Zone achieved victory inside five overs. North Zone will face South Zone in Sunday's first match, with East Zone taking on West Zone in the second game of the day at the Delhi Police Ground. Meanwhile, the day's programme at Roshanara Club featured the team events of the table tennis competition, drawing participation from sports journalists' associations across the country.
