New Delhi, November 5, 2025: The Indian women's cricket team recently created history. The team led by Harmanpreet Kaur won the world title for the first time by defeating Australia in the final of the T20 World Cup. After this historic achievement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met the winning players in Delhi. This meeting was not just formal, but the funny interaction between the players and the Prime Minister won everyone's hearts.
The meeting, which took place at the Prime Minister's official residence at 11 am, was attended by star players like Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, Shefali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, along with head coach Amol Majumdar and BCCI officials.

Harmanpreet's straightforward question: "Sir, do you play cricket?"
In the middle of the meeting, captain Harmanpreet Kaur suddenly asked the Prime Minister a question – "Sir, do you play cricket? We would like to play a match with you!" Hearing this question, laughter erupted in the hall. Prime Minister Modi said with a smile, "Harman, I only play on TV! But if I take the bat in front of champions like you, I will reach the pavilion before the wicket falls. Still, if you call me, I am ready to bowl – just a slow bodyline!"
Modi further said, "You have not only won the World Cup, but you have given wings to the dreams of crores of girls. Today, every girl in India says – 'I will be Harmanpreet!' This achievement is a matter of pride for the country."
Smriti Mandhana's demand: "Sir, we want a parade at India Gate!"
Vice-captain Smriti Mandhana also had fun. She said, "Sir, the men's team was given a Man of the Match car in Mumbai in 2007. What will we get?" Modi quickly replied, "Smriti, you will not just get a car, but the entire road! Soon we will organize a grand parade from India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhavan. And yes, every player will get a car with a 'Champion' number plate!"
Young sensation Shefali Verma even requested Modi for a selfie. "Sir, we want to make our group photo viral on social media!" Modi said with a smile, "Okay, but I will write the caption - 'Champions with Champion PM!'"
Modi's special announcement: Special fund of Rs 500 crore
In the formal interaction, the Prime Minister made a big announcement. "I am immediately approving a special fund of Rs 500 crore for the infrastructure of women's cricket. 'Harmanpreet Academy' will be set up in every state. And yes, before the next World Cup, the National Women's League will get sponsors like IPL."
BCCI President Roger Binny thanked Modi, saying, "This support from the Prime Minister will take us 500 steps forward."
Modi's enchanting gesture to the trophy
At the end of the program, the Prime Minister touched the World Cup trophy and wished the players. "This trophy is not just silver, but the dreams of 140 crore Indians," he said.
The players gifted Modi a jersey and a mini bat signed by the team. Harmanpreet said, "Sir, will you wear this jersey in the parade?" Modi immediately put on the jersey and posed in front of everyone.
Congratulations poured in from across the country
Photos and videos of the visit have gone viral on social media. Sachin Tendulkar tweeted – "Girls have shown that even the sky is not the limit!" Virat Kohli posted a story – "Harman Army Rocks!"
