After years of toil, heartbreaks, and relentless belief, India Women finally stood where they had always dreamed—at the podium as champions, World Cup trophy gleaming under the floodlights. The players gathered arm‑in‑arm, laughing and cheering, but what followed next turned that victory into something far more poetic.
As the confetti settled, the entire squad formed a circle. A hush mixed with excitement fell across the field as Jemimah Rodrigues stepped forward with a smile that spoke a thousand stories. She revealed that the song was kept secret out of a promise made long before the final.
“We decided almost four years ago that we would only reveal our team song when we win the World Cup and tonight is the night,” she said.
Then, almost on cue, the team began to sing revealing their long‑kept secret, their team anthem, for the very first time.
“Team India, Team India,
Karde sabki hawa tight,
Team India is here to fight.
Koi na leta humko light,
Our future is bright.
Chand pe chalenge, sath me uthenge,
Hum hai Team India, hum sath me jitenge.
Na lega koi panga, kar denge hum danga.
Rahega sabse upar, humara tiranga.
Hum hai Team India, hum hai Team India, hum hai Team India”
Each line echoed through the stadium, carrying the unmistakable rhythm of pride and togetherness. The chorus wasn’t just music; it was emotion turned into melody.
India’s campaign at the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup was a journey of grit, recovery, and ultimate glory. Beginning with strong momentum, India defeated Sri Lanka in Guwahati by 59 runs and followed it up with a dominant 88‑run win over Pakistan in Colombo.
However, the middle phase tested their resilience as they suffered three narrow defeats—losing to South Africa and Australia by 3 wickets each and to England by just 4 runs. Despite the setbacks, Harmanpreet Kaur’s team refused to back down. They roared back with a commanding 53 run victory over New Zealand in Navi Mumbai, while their final group game against Bangladesh ended without a result.
Securing a semifinal berth, India produced one of the greatest performances in ODI history, chasing down Australia’s 339 the highest successful chase ever in women’s ODI cricket to book their place in the final. On a glorious night in Navi Mumbai, India posted 298 runs before bowling out South Africa for 246, sealing a 52‑run win and capturing their maiden World Cup trophy.
The campaign not only marked India’s rise to the summit of world cricket but also cemented their identity as a team built on belief, unity, and fearless cricket.
The video shared by BCCI Women of the squad dancing around and singing their team song aloud, went viral within minutes. Fans across the world shared messages calling it one of Indian sport’s most heartfelt celebrations. More than a victory chant, the song embodied the spirit of resilience, friendship, and belief that had carried the team this far.
As the night wore on and the smiles refused to fade, that anthem became India’s newest sporting memory a reminder that dreams kept alive through patience and unity can one day echo louder than the roar of the crowd.
