India celebrates U-19 Women's T20 World Cup victory with praise from PM Modi, Sachin Tendulkar, and more.
From Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, the country hailed the Indian team's title triumph in the U-19 Women's T20 World Cup in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday (February 2, 2025).
India thrashed South Africa by nine wickets in a lopsided final to win the tournament for the second successive time.
"Immensely proud of our Nari Shakti! Congratulations to the Indian team for emerging victorious in the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup 2025. This victory is the result of our excellent teamwork as well as determination and grit. It will inspire several upcoming athletes. My best wishes to the team for their future endeavours," PM Modi said in his tweet.
Mandaviya, who heads the sports ministry, tweeted, "WORLD CHAMPIONS! Heartiest congratulations to our U19 Women's Cricket team for winning the U19WorldCup. Your hard work and dedication have made the nation immensely proud. Wishing each and every member of the team the very best."
Tendulkar, one of the game's greatest players, said, "From the first game to the final, our team played like true champions. Winning is special, but defending a title takes something extraordinary.
"Huge congratulations to #TeamIndia for lifting the U19 T20 World Cup once again! This team has inspired many and set new benchmarks for the future. Very happy for the girls & for women's cricket!"
Having outclassed every team during their march to the final, India asserted themselves yet again, getting the job done with as many as 52 balls to spare while also becoming the first team to win the tournament without dropping a single game.
