'Indira Gandhis Dream Fulfilled': Pramod Tiwari Hails World Cup Champions

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi: Senior Congress leader Pramod Tiwari on Monday congratulated the Indian womens cricket team for their historic triumph at the ICC Womens Cricket World Cup 2025, calling it the fulfillment of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhis dream of womens empowerment. In a video message congratulating the Indian women's cricket team, Tiwari said, Today, they have put Indias flag in the world. They have fulfilled the dream of Indira Gandhi that Indian women can do anything. They can make every impossible possible -- in every field, whether it is fielding, batting, a test of patience, whether it is sending the ball beyond the boundary or flying the wicket as a bowler. Our daughters have been successful in everything. We are proud of our daughters. Today, India is proud. The country is proud. Once again, many congratulations. I will say one thing, Chak De India! he added. The Congress leaders message came amid nationwide celebrations after Indias womens team clinched their first-ever Womens ODI World Cup title, defeating South Africa by 52 runs at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai. All-rounder Deepti Sharma was the star performer, scoring 58 runs and taking a five-wicket haul to seal the win. Put in to bat, India rode on Deeptis 50 and a solid top-order effort to post 298/7 in 50 overs. The South African chase, anchored by captain Laura Wolvaardts valiant innings, ended at 246 in 45.3 overs, as the Indian bowlers held their nerve to script history. With this win, India became only the third country, after England and Australia, to have won both the mens and womens ODI World Cups.
