India Won Women’s World Championship 2025: The Indian women’s cricket team created history by winning its first World Cup with a 52-run victory over South Africa on Sunday. This victory wrote another golden chapter in the history of the country’s sporting achievements. 21-year-old Shefali Verma, who was not even among the reserves till last week, created memories of a lifetime by scoring 87 runs in India’s 298 for 7 and then took some important wickets to restrict South Africa women’s team to 246 runs in front of a packed DY Patil Stadium.
November 2 recorded in history
Deepti Sharma (5/39) and young Sri Charani (1/48) also contributed under immense pressure and started one of the most memorable days for women’s cricket in the country. If June 25, 1983 was a historic moment for Indian men’s cricket, when Kapil Dev’s team defeated the mighty West Indies at Lord’s, then November 2, 2025 will be a watershed moment for the women’s cricket movement. Rohit Sharma, who has the scars of November 19, 2023 on his shoulders, was also watching the final from the stands with a prayer on his lips that Harmanpreet Kaur should make India proud this time.

Vande Mataram to Gunja Stadium
Harmanpreet is a woman who has done more for Indian women’s cricket than anyone can imagine. She knows how deeply it hurts to lose a final, as it happened eight years ago. His team did not disappoint him. Ian Bishop called the moment “inspiring for generations” when Nadine de Klerk offered it while back-pedaling on the cover of Extra. This moment became even more spectacular with the singing of AR Rahman’s ‘Vande Mataram’.
The victory will be remembered for decades
This is not just another World Cup win, but something whose social impact will perhaps only be understood two decades later. Eleven special women, led by their flamboyant captain, are from now on not only role models but also beacons of hope for every girl from Kashmir to Kanyakumari who aspires to touch the sky.
