Harmanpreet Kaur Touched Coach Feet: India has won the title of Women’s World Cup 2025. Team India has created history by winning the Women’s World Cup under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur. The credit for this victory of Team India can also be given to head coach Amol Majumdar. Amol Majumdar is the person who supported the Indian team in every situation when Team India faltered. Amol Majumdar himself could never play in Team India’s jersey, but today he has registered his name in history by making the Indian women’s team win the World Cup.

Who is head coach Amol Majumdar?

Amol Majumdar is a player of that era when Team India included great players like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid. But Majumdar never got a chance to play for the Indian team. Amol Majumdar played 171 matches in first class cricket, in which he scored 11,167 runs. Amol also scored 30 centuries in first class matches in his cricketing career. But this player never got a chance to play even a single match for India.

A piece of advice from my father became a set in stone.

Amol Majumdar started playing first class cricket in 1993 and till 2002 he kept fighting to get selection in Team India, but did not get success. Amol Majumdar was very disappointed, then his father Anil Majumdar had said one thing, ‘Don’t leave the game, there is still cricket left in you’. This statement of his father changed the way of thinking of Amol Majumdar.

Amol Majumdar became the coach of Team India

Amol Majumdar had announced his retirement from cricket in 2014. Sachin Tendulkar had also told that Amol used to tell him that ‘I could never play for India, this was a shortcoming’. Amol Majumdar won the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai in 2006. Amol remained continuously associated with cricket for so many years and during this time he worked with Rajasthan Royals in Netherlands, South Africa and IPL. In 2003, Amol Majumdar joined the Indian women’s cricket team and now Team India has won the World Cup title for the first time.

On this occasion, reactions came not only from the country but also from the neighboring country Pakistan.

Former Pakistan captain Rameez Raza said in a video, ‘India again showed why they are such a big team because the combination is solid. His performance is solid. They remained relaxed. It was not that there was any desperate situation. This is a very big thing about India. They are enjoying each other’s company and the results are in front of you. This is a lesson for any youngster to not forget the reason why you play cricket. We all play cricket because we love it. We enjoy sports.

On the victory of the Indian women’s team, former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘Many congratulations to India for the victory. Indian girls played well and truly deserved the victory. He gave people a chance to celebrate. Team India’s bowling and batting were also very good. With its help, he made sure that he came to the field with full attitude. Shoaib Akhtar further said that I felt good that Team India has won comprehensively. He has developed a lot of professionalism. He has invested a lot in himself.

Ended 52 years of drought

India created history by winning the title for the first time by defeating South Africa by 52 runs in the final of Women’s ICC ODI World Cup due to the all-round play of Shefali Verma and Deepti Sharma. Starting the innings, Shefali played an aggressive inning of 87 runs in 78 balls. After this, with her spin bowling, Sune Luus and Marijan Kapp showed the way to the pavilion to the experienced batsmen who scored 4 runs. Amidst the fall of wickets in the middle overs, Deepti, who contributed 58 runs in 58 balls, turned the match by taking five wickets, including South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt (101), who scored a century for the second consecutive match.

After being invited to bat first, India scored 298 runs for seven wickets and restricted South Africa to 246 runs, ending the 52-year drought in the history of this tournament. Wolvaardt stood firm from one end till the 41st over, but due to the continuous fall of wickets from the other end, the pressure on South Africa’s batsmen became dominant as the required run-rate increased.

The Indian team has finally become ODI World Champion for the first time after a long wait of 52 years. India defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the 2025 World Cup final. In the title clash held at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, the Indian team, playing first, had scored 298 runs on the scoreboard. In reply, Laura Woolfart kept the South African team’s hopes alive by scoring a century. He played an inning of 101 runs. But the lethal bowling of Shefali Verma and Deepti Sharma made an important contribution in making India the world champion for the first time.

The Women’s World Cup was started in 1973, but till now the Indian team had never been able to achieve the title of world champion. Ultimately, Team India has created history under the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur. Team India had earlier played the finals in 2005 and 2017, but the year 2025 has written a new chapter in the history of Indian women’s cricket.

Shefali ‘The Great’ Verma

Shefali Verma had come to play in the knockout stage of this World Cup as a replacement. Who knew that she would become the hero of India’s historic victory in the final. He played a memorable inning of 87 runs in the final match. Captain Harmanpreet played a big gamble by handing him the ball. Shefali proved to be a ‘surprise package’. First he broke the big partnership that was developing by dismissing Soon Luce. He also dismissed Marijne Kapp.

Deepti Sharma’s paw

The contribution of Shefali Verma in batting was of Deepti Sharma in bowling. He took 5 wickets for only 39 runs in 9.3 overs. He also dismissed South African captain Laura Woolfart, who was continuously increasing the problems for Team India during her century inning of 101 runs. Wolfhart kept fighting alone, but she did not get support from the other end.

New champion after 25 years

Before this, only Australia, England and New Zealand could win the Women’s ODI World Cup trophy. The last time women’s ODI cricket got a new champion was in the year 2000, when New Zealand became the champion. Before that and even after that, only Australia and England have become champions. Now after 25 years, women’s ODI cricket has got a new champion in the form of India.

In the World Cup final, the Indian team, playing first, scored 298 runs. This is the second highest score made by any team in the Women’s ODI World Cup final. Shefali Verma played an inning of 87 runs and Deepti Sharma played an inning of 58 runs. South Africa is playing the World Cup final for the first time, after which there is such a batting line-up which can achieve this record target. Meanwhile, let us know how many runs have been the biggest successful run chase so far in the World Cup.

Biggest run chase in World Cup final

The biggest run chase in the Women’s ODI World Cup final took place in the year 2009. In the 2009 final, England successfully achieved the target of 167 runs against New Zealand. In that match, New Zealand was all out for just 166 runs while playing first. In response, England achieved this target with 4 wickets remaining.

The second most successful run chase in a World Cup final came in 1997. That year, Australia won the trophy by achieving the target of 165 runs in the title clash against New Zealand.

• 167 runs – England (vs New Zealand)

If the final match cannot be held today due to rain, then November 3 has been kept as reserve day. But today an effort will be made to conduct at least 20-20 overs matches. The cut-off time of the 20-20 overs match will be 9:08 pm. If the rain stops by 9.08 pm then a 20-20 overs match is possible.

If it rains again after the start of the 20-20 overs match, the match will not be continued. In that case reserve day will be used. The priority will be to bring the result of the final match today itself. If the match cannot start then the match will be played tomorrow on Reserve Day.

What if it rains even on the reserve day?

If the final match cannot be started or completed even on 3rd November, i.e. Reserve Day, due to rain or any other reason, then both the teams will be declared joint winners. This has never happened in the history of the Women’s World Cup, when any two teams have been declared joint winners.

Till now only Australia, England and New Zealand have been able to win the Women’s World Cup trophy. Before this, Team India reached the finals twice, but could never become champion. On the other hand, South Africa has reached the final for the first time in 2025.
