Amitabh Bachchan Celebrates Indian Women's Cricket Team's World Cup Victory
Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has once again expressed his support and admiration for the Indian women's cricket team, following their commanding victory against Pakistan in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025. The match, held on Sunday, saw India defeat Pakistan by a convincing 88 runs, maintaining their undefeated record against their rivals in the tournament.
Bachchan, a well-known sports enthusiast, took to social media platform X to share his excitement and congratulate the team. His celebratory message, "Jai Hind, Jai Bharat," resonated with fans across the nation, reflecting the widespread support for the women's team and the growing popularity of women's cricket in India.
India's performance in the high-stakes match was marked by both batting resilience and bowling precision. After being restricted to 247, thanks to a historic spell by Diana Baig who took 4 wickets for 69 runs, the Indian bowlers came back strongly. Kranti Goud and Deepti Sharma led the bowling attack, each claiming three wickets, while Sneh Rana contributed with two. Their combined efforts ensured that Pakistan was bowled out for a mere 159 in 43 overs.
Pakistan's innings saw a promising 69-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Sidra Amin and Natalia Pervaiz, but Goud's timely intervention broke the momentum. Sidra Amin's resilient innings of 81 runs couldn't find enough support from the other batters, as Deepti Sharma further dismantled the middle and lower order. Ultimately, the pressure created by the Indian bowlers proved too much for the Pakistani batting lineup.
This victory not only extends India's unblemished record against Pakistan in Women's World Cups to 5-0 but also marks their 12th consecutive win against them in women's ODIs. The win highlights the increasing dominance of Indian women's cricket on the global stage and underscores the abundance of talent in both their batting and bowling departments.
The stellar performances by players like Kranti Goud, Deepti Sharma, and Sneh Rana have been pivotal in India's success, demonstrating the team's resilience, skill, and tactical intelligence. As the tournament progresses, the Indian team, buoyed by this victory, looks a formidable force.
Amitabh Bachchan's consistent support for the Indian women's cricket team underscores the significance of their achievements and inspires greater recognition for women in sports. His celebratory message serves as a testament to the team's hard work and dedication, further fueling the nation's passion for women's cricket.
