When Harmanpreet Kaur’s Team India lifted the coveted ODI Women’s World Cup on Sunday, it was an overwhelmingly emotional moment for the Bucket Hat Cult, a collective that has been steadfastly supporting the Women in Blue through the years.
“India’s win against South Africa was everything we thought it would be. There was a rain delay, but just delayed enough so that we had 50 overs, right? We lost the toss, which at this point I’m like, if Harmanpreet Kaur wins a toss, it is going to throw our entire team’s juju off. So, I am glad she lost the toss,” said Radha Lath Gupta, one of the co-founders of the club.
