India’s World Cup hero Amanjot Kaur played through the tournament unaware that her grandmother had suffered a heart attack. Her father, Bhupinder Singh, said the family kept the news secret so she could focus on helping India win their maiden Women’s ODI World Cup title. Amanjot’s grandmother, Bhagwanti, has been her biggest supporter since childhood. Despite the family crisis, Amanjot’s brilliant catch in the final dismissed South Africa’s captain Laura Wolvaardt and helped seal India’s win. Her family called the victory a “balm” during tough times, praising Amanjot’s strength and dedication to the game. (PC: X)
