Jemimah Rodrigues shared viral photos Monday morning showing herself and teammates Smriti Mandhana, Arundhati Reddy, and Radha Yadav sleeping beside the World Cup trophy, captioned "Are we still dreaming?" The post perfectly captures India's historic ICC Women's World Cup 2025 triumph. Jemimah's unbeaten 127 against Australia in the semi-finals powered India's record 339-run chase marking the highest successful World Cup knockout pursuit. Partnering with captain Harmanpreet Kaur (89), she rescued India from 59/2 to eliminate seven-time champions Australia. India defeated first-time finalists South Africa by 52 runs in Mumbai's final, ending heartbreaks from 2005 and 2017. Head coach Gautam Gambhir praised the team for creating a legacy inspiring future generations.
