The year 2025 will remain etched in Indian sporting history. When the Indian women's cricket team lifted the ICC Women's World Cup trophy for the first time at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai, it was a moment

of pure vindication. Years of close calls, heartbreaks, and unrelenting effort finally paid off as they conquered the world. India's World Cup win wasn't just a sporting achievement-it was a cultural moment. These women had silenced critics, shattered stereotypes, and most importantly, inspired a generation of young girls to dream in blue. With this victory came more than just medals—visibility, respect, and financial recognition arrived in tow. Decades-long pay and sponsorship lags for women's cricket met a new dawn in 2025. From record-breaking WPL contracts to multi-crore brand deals, the same women battling for funding are now amongst India's highest-paid athletes.
