Shraddha Kapoor Compares Women’s World Cup Win To 1983 Victory: ‘This Is For Generations’

India is celebrating a golden chapter in its cricket history after the Women’s Cricket Team clinched their first-ever ICC Women’s World Cup title on home soil. The atmosphere across the country is euphoric as fans are celebrating in the streets, waving the tricolour, and social media is buzzing with pride. Many have drawn parallels to the legendary 1983 World Cup win, which marked India’s arrival on the global stage under Kapil Dev’s leadership.

Amid the nationwide joy, actress Shraddha Kapoor’s heartfelt post stood out as a reflection of what millions are feeling. Taking to social media, she wrote, “For decades, sirf parents se sunte the what 1983 felt like. Humein humara ye wala moment dene ke liye thank you girls. This is for generations.”

A Generational Moment For Indian Cricket
Shraddha’s post beautifully echoed the sentiment of millions who see this 2025 victory as a defining generational milestone — much like Kapil Dev’s 1983 triumph that forever changed Indian cricket. That iconic moment had inspired countless youngsters to take up the sport, and now, the Women’s World Cup 2025 victory has sparked a similar wave of inspiration for young girls across the nation.

The Indian women’s team defeated South Africa by 52 runs at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium, powered by Deepti Sharma’s stellar all-round performance and Shafali Verma’s explosive batting. Their win symbolises not just sporting excellence but also the spirit of empowerment and resilience that defines the new era of Indian women’s cricket.
