During the interaction, President Murmu said the team’s remarkable achievement has filled every Indian—within the country and abroad—with immense pride. She described the players as the true reflection of India’s diversity, noting that they embody different states, cultures, backgrounds, and life journeys, yet come together as one team representing the nation at its best.
Highlighting India’s dramatic win over the seven-time world champions Australia, the President said the team had strengthened the faith of millions in the country’s sporting potential. Defeating an undefeated Australian side in the final “with such dominance and composure,” she said, was a defining moment in Indian women’s cricket.

She expressed confidence that the team would continue their upward trajectory and maintain India’s place at the top of international cricket in the years to come.
Reflecting on the emotional roller coaster of a World Cup campaign, the President acknowledged the moments of hope, anxiety, and sleepless nights the players must have endured. She noted that after the crucial victory against New Zealand, the belief of the entire nation surged, with people convinced that “our daughters would prevail, no matter the pressure.”
The President credited the team’s success to their dedication, discipline, skill, and the unwavering support of their families and fans. She said every member of the squad demonstrated the commitment required in a team sport like cricket, where each player plays a vital role on and off the field.
President Murmu also praised the coaching and support staff—including the head coach, bowling coach, fielding coach, and technical team—for their role in shaping the championship-winning squad. She wished the team continued success and expressed hope that they would create many more milestones for India.
The meeting concluded with interactions, photographs, and expressions of gratitude from the players, marking yet another proud moment in India’s sporting history.
