The Indian team that won the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday evening. The eyes of the entire country were on this historic moment, but the one who was most talked about was the team’s young opener Pratika Rawal, who reached the occasion of this honor even with a plaster on her broken leg. Despite struggling with pain, there was a smile on his face and this smile became the identity of his spirit.
Met PM Modi
The Indian women’s team reached Delhi from Mumbai on Tuesday, where PM Modi met all the players and praised their achievements, but as soon as Pratika Rawal reached there with full confidence, she had a broken leg. The glow and smile on his face was leaving that pain behind. PM Modi also praised the courage of this young player and saluted his spirit.
Despite injury, courage did not break
Pratika Raval suffered a serious leg injury during the match against Bangladesh in the league stage. She had a fracture in her ankle, due to which she could not play in the knockout stage matches. In her place, Shefali Verma was included in the team, who played an important role in making India the champion by performing brilliantly in the final.
Although Pratika was not on the field, she was boosting the morale of her teammates every moment from the dressing room. When India won the final, she came to the field in a wheelchair and celebrated with her teammates.
Great performance in the World Cup
World Cup 2025 was the best tournament of Pratika Raval’s career. He scored 308 runs in 6 innings. During this period his average was 51.33. Which also included a brilliant century inning of 122 runs against New Zealand. Pratika was the fourth highest run scorer in the entire tournament and was second only to Smriti Mandhana for India. His consistent innings contributed a lot in taking India to the semi-finals.
