Harmanpreet Kaur became the first Indian Women’s World Cup winning captain. India defeated South Africa in the final at DY Patil Stadium by 52 runs, defending 298 runs.
Her first comments post this historic victory came during the post-match presentation ceremony, during which she thanked the crowd for their support throughout the competition.
She also said that they (the team) would like to make winning tournaments a habit:
“We were waiting for this moment, now this moment has come. Now want to make it a habit,“
Harmanpreet scored a crucial 89 against Australia in the semi-final, chasing a record total in this tournament’s history to reach the final. She may have only scored 20 today, but her leadership was crucial in this victorious campaign.
