The Indian Women’s Cricket Team created history on Sunday, November 2, by defeating South Africa by 52 runs in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Final at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. With this victory, India lifted their first-ever ODI World Cup trophy in women’s cricket.
Notably, Indian men’s cricket star Rohit Sharma was present at the stadium to cheer for the Women in Blue, where one of his long-cherished dreams finally came true—leaving him emotional.
Yes, that’s right. Rohit Sharma had always dreamed of seeing Team India win an ODI World Cup at home and experiencing that priceless moment of triumph. He came heartbreakingly close during the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, but that dream was shattered when India lost to Australia in the final at Ahmedabad. However, destiny had other plans—this time, India’s women’s team fulfilled that dream for him.
A video of Rohit Sharma is going viral on social media, where he can be seen getting emotional and teary-eyed after India’s women lifted the trophy on home soil.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
