Mumbai, November 3 (NationPress) - Actress Saiyami Kher was overwhelmed with joy as the Women’s Indian Cricket Team celebrated their remarkable victory by bringing home the World Cup trophy on November 2, 2025. The actress took to social media, sharing a heartfelt collection of photos and videos directly from the stadium where the exhilarating match took place. In her emotional post, Kher reflected, “My journey with cricket began when I was just 8 years old, sitting in front of the television with my father, mesmerized by the Master’s skills. I became completely engrossed. In a boy's world of cricket, whenever I expressed my desire to join them, I was often met with laughter. Their amusement faded when I picked up the ball and bowled them out, one after another.

“Years later, in environments dominated by men, when I discussed cover drives and reverse swing, I encountered that same condescending smirk suggesting, ‘What do you know about cricket?’ But last night, at a packed DY Patil Stadium, filled with chants supporting every girl in blue, I noticed tears in the eyes of those same men who once scoffed. Our girls made history in a journey that began in 1978, with the first World Cup.

“From pooling resources to sharing equipment to this moment! This victory is monumental, not just for women's cricket but for every woman who dared to dream, for every girl who picked up a bat when the world told her she couldn’t.”

She continued, “Standing there, exactly where we filmed Ghoomer, watching our girls lift that trophy, it felt like life had come full circle. I am proud of our girls, of the families supporting them, of the BCCI for their belief. I am also grateful to Vijay Patil for such an unforgettable experience at DY Patil.” Kher added, “Our girls have demonstrated that the game belongs to everyone who cherishes it. Last night, the songs Chak De and Maa Tujhe Salaam resonated deeper than ever before, as they were not just for the team but for every young girl who has ever said, ‘Someday, I will play too.’”

For those unaware, the Indian women’s cricket team made history by clinching their first World Cup title after a thrilling victory against South Africa in the final match at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

Numerous celebrities from the film industry, including Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Anushka Sharma, took to their social media platforms to commend the team’s extraordinary achievement, labeling it a moment of great national pride.

On the subject of Ghoomer, the 2023 sports drama featured Saiyami Kher and Abhishek Bachchan, telling the story of Anina Dixit, a young cricketer whose aspirations are dashed after losing her arm in an accident. Defying the odds, Dixit is guided by her mentor to reinvent herself as a bowler, mastering a unique bowling style known as 'Ghoomer'. This film holds significant relevance, especially in light of the recent World Cup victory, highlighting the added challenges faced by some athletes in sports.
