During the fun-filled conversations, Salman Khan recalled a promise that World Cup-winning captain Harmanpreet Kaur and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana made to former pacer Jhulan Goswami. He said, "Smriti aur Harman ne aapko waada kiya tha ki trophy jeet ke rahenge." Overwhelmed, Jhulan then replied, "Jab woh trophy lekar mere samne aaye, that was the biggest moment in my cricket career."
Anjum Chopra also expressed the significance of the Women's World Cup win. She said that this win will boost women's cricket in India and parents would encourage young girls to dream of representing the country on a bigger level.
India's years-long dream of winning the ICC Women's World Cup finally came to an end after two setbacks in the 2005 and 2017 finals, as they defeated South Africa by 52 runs in a clinical performance at the finals, with the all-round performances from Shafali Sharma (87 and 2/36) and Deepti Sharma (58 and 5/39).
"In that moment when we hugged, I saw years of hope, pain, and belief come full circle. The dream had finally come home," Jhulan wrote on her Instagram handle as she shared an emotional moment with Harmanpreet Kaur after India's World Cup win.
Anjum Chopra wrote, "What a World Cup! Stories, emotions, moments — all captured in one unforgettable journey. A tournament that belonged to the women who played with heart, determination, and spirit — and to every woman who paved the path long before this moment.
Their belief made this dream a reality, and their journey continues to inspire. Privileged to witness it up close."
