Rohit Sharma gets teary-eyed after India women clinch World Cup 2025, watch viral clip

Rohit Sharma knows the pain of missing out on a World Cup, especially on home soil. Who can forget the haunting memory of November 19, 2023, when India came up short against Australia in the final of the 50-over World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad? Hence, it is no surprise that even the Hitman was unable to control his emotions after Harmanpreet Kaur's India scripted history at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday by winning their maiden Women's World Cup title.

In front of a jam-packed stadium, Harmanpreet's side lifted the silverware after beating South Africa by 52 runs in the summit clash. Deepti Sharma was the star of the show, returning with 58 runs and five wickets as the hosts dominated the final against a formidable Proteas lineup.

The final wicket of the game was scalped by Deepti as skipper Harmanpreet picked up a sensational catch to send Nadine de Klerk back to the hut. As soon as the ball was plucked out of thin air, the entire team ran up to the Indian captain to celebrate the achievement and to no one's surprise, the eyes of all players were moist.
