With high hopes the Indian Women's Cricket Team went in to the finals of the World Cup against England, though the result came out against the expectations of everyone the team managed to create history despite falling 9 runs short of the target set by the England team.
Congratulations to the England team for becoming the world champions but the hearts won by the Indian girls in blue who fought like a warrior and at the end came out as winners, despite losing the match and the championship.
Before going to the world cup no one even expected the team to play so well and reach the finals of the world cup. The team went on to beat the best teams participating in the tournament including the New Zealand and Australia, that too convincingly.
Reaching the finals of the tournament was the moment when history gradually started to build up. The women's team started to get all the due coverage that they were ignored all these days. The common citizenry of India, politicians, media (national and international) all started to talk about the glorious moment if and when this team lifts the world cup.
Fighting all odds and breaking the trends this team probably for the first time got extensive coverage in the media, people too took interest in knowing about their players and their background. Many cricket lovers for the first time even knew that we have players like Harmandeep Kaur who can play as good an innings as any of the better 'hyped' hitters in men's team including Virat Kohli or a Yuvraj or Dhoni.
Captain Mithali Raj showed exceptional skills on the ground and had a different strategy for every other team that they played against and came out as winners.
Though the team fell short of 9 runs after starting a convincing chase against England after they lost 7 quick wickets within 28 runs, but the team showed exemplary talent and will to chase the target.
The team needs to learn continuously, need to sweat it out on the field as much as possible for their bright future and may be make even better strategy to come out as winners in the next world cup, but for us they are the heroes and have returned as champions, sans the cup.
