In the Women's World Cup final, Amanjot Kaur took the catch of South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt at deep mid-wicket after fumbling. The catch more or less sealed the game for India. The PM said, while catching you must be seeing the ball, but after the catch you must be seeing the trophy.
It was Harmanpreet Kaur's superb catch that concluded the Women's World Cup 2025 final. Right after that catch, the India captain put the ball in her pocket. PM Modi pointed that out and said she was lucky that the ball came to her, and she kept it.
The World Cup-winning captain Harmanpreet Kaur asked PM Modi how he manages to always remain in the present. To this, the PM said that it has become a habit for him now.
After meeting Deepti Sharma, PM Narendra Modi discussed her tattoo of Lord Hanuman on her arm, and "Jai Shree Ram" written in her Instagram bio. To this, the India all-rounder replied that it gives her strength.
Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur went down memory lane and recalled meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi back in 2017 after the side lost the ODI World Cup final to England. Meanwhile, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana said that the PM had motivated them and has been an inspiration for all of them.
The Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. gifted Prime Minister Narendra Modi an Indian cricket team jersey with the autograph of the Women's World Cup-winning players.
