Quick Read
For the triumphant Indian women’s cricket team, achieving one milestone has naturally opened the path to the next. The only thing they need to do is draw motivation and inspiration from their recent maiden triumph rather than rest on their laurels. After a long wait, the women’s team finally laid their hands on the ICC World Cup on the 13th attempt, having come close to the title twice before. They were runners-up in 2005 and 2017, before finally winning an ICC trophy under Harmanpreet Kaur’s captaincy at the DY Patil Stadium on November 2, 2025.
That triumph in Navi Mumbai has given the team fresh hope and a new challenge, to set the record straight in the shortest format as well, when the ICC T20 World Cup is held in England in June 2026. They have been runners-up once (in 2020) in nine appearances, and the upcoming mega event presents their best opportunity to complete a grand double of ODI and T20 World Cup triumphs, and that too back-to-back.
