Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra, and Kiara Advani have all taken to social media to express their joy and salute the newly crowned champions.

The Indian women's cricket team clinched their first-ever World Cup title on Sunday, defeating South Africa by 52 runs in a thrilling final held at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. This victory marks a watershed moment for women's cricket in India, which has long battled for recognition and resources.

Anushka Sharma, known for her unwavering support of Indian cricket, shared a heartfelt message, expressing her pride in the team's remarkable achievement. "What a win!

Kiara Advani lauded the "champions" and wrote, "What an incredible moment, you have created history!!! Congratulations to our Women in blue".

The Women in Blue's path to victory was hard-earned. After facing setbacks in the league stage, including successive defeats against South Africa, Australia, and England, they bounced back with a crucial win against New Zealand to secure a spot in the semi-finals. In a nail-biting semi-final clash, they defeated defending champions Australia, setting the stage for their triumphant final against South Africa.

In the final match, India showcased a dominant performance, posting a total of 298/7 in their 50 overs. Shafali Verma emerged as the top scorer with a brilliant 87, while Deepti Sharma contributed a valuable 58. The packed stadium, filled with a roaring crowd of 45,000, witnessed Deepti Sharma's exceptional performance with the ball, as she claimed a five-wicket haul, dismantling South Africa's batting lineup.

South Africa fought valiantly, with captain Laura Wolvaardt scoring a century. However, Deepti Sharma's crucial dismissal of Wolvaardt in the 42nd over shifted the momentum decisively in India's favor.

The victory was especially sweet for India, who had previously finished as runners-up in 2005 and 2017. This win not only marks their first World Cup title but also establishes them as the first women's team from Asia to win a global title across all formats.

The celebrations are expected to continue throughout the week, with fans and celebrities alike honoring the Women in Blue for their historic achievement. This victory is expected to have a significant impact on the popularity and growth of women's cricket in India, inspiring a new generation of girls to take up the sport.
