Notably, the Indian Women’s team is set to meet with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence in Delhi. The PM invited the team after their World Cup win just like he did with the Men’s Cricket team after their T20 World Cup win in 2024. The members of the Indian team are scheduled to meet the Prime Minister on November 5.
“India's daughters have created history. India has won the Women's Cricket World Cup for the first time. After 25 years, the world has got a new world champion, and India's daughters have given this pride to the entire nation. This victory isn't just limited to the sports field. It's also a symbol of India's daughters' newfound confidence," Modi said during an event as day after India’s World Cup win.
"These are daughters from small villages and towns; these are daughters of our farmers, labourers, and lower middle-class families. I'm proud of them; the entire nation is proud. I also extend my heartfelt congratulations to the parents of these champion daughters," the Indian PM further added.
