Sunil Gavaskar said India’s 2025 Women’s World Cup victory is not the same as the men’s 1983 win, though both changed Indian cricket. He noted that the men’s team had never reached a knockout before 1983, while the women had already played two finals. Gavaskar praised Harmanpreet Kaur’s team for their “sporting intelligence” and credited Indian coaches for understanding players better. He said the win will motivate young girls across India to play cricket, just as 1983 inspired boys. “This victory will give new wings to women’s cricket,” Gavaskar wrote in his column. (PC: X)
