“We remember the last time we met you in 2017; we could not get the trophy. But we are really proud that this time, we have become world champions. It’s an honour to meet you again, and we hope to continue making the country proud,” said Harmanpreet.
Prime Minister Modi lauded the players for their perseverance, teamwork, and exemplary leadership.
“You all have done a very big job. In India, cricket is not just a game; it has become the life of the people. If everything goes well in cricket, the entire country feels good, but if there is anything wrong in cricket, the entire country shakes,” he said, emphasizing the unifying power of sports in India.
The meeting was filled with pride, smiles, and celebratory moments as the champions shared anecdotes from their World Cup campaign.
Their journey from training sessions to lifting the trophy has inspired millions of young girls across the nation to dream big and pursue sports professionally.
