On Monday, the West Bengal CM took to X (formerly Twitter) to laud the Indian women’s cricket team, writing, “Today, the entire nation is incredibly proud of our Women in Blue for their feat in the World Cup final." Her post received a cheeky reply from West Bengal BJP, which indirectly took a dig at her earlier comment

After India’s victory in the ODI Women’s World Cup 2025 by 52 runs against South Africa on Sunday, November 2, several politicians congratulated Team India.
In her post congratulating the Indian women cricketers on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote, “Today, the entire nation is incredibly proud of our Women in Blue for their feat in the World Cup final. The fight they showed and the command they displayed throughout the tournament will be an inspiration for generations of young girls. You have proved that you are a world-class team at the apex level and you gave us some absolutely brilliant moments. You are our heroes. Many bigger victories await you in the future. We stand with you!”
