Hailing the performance of the side, BCCI’s Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai said: “I would like to congratulate the Indian women’s cricket team for their exemplary show in the ICC Women’s World Cup.”

“The team has shown tremendous character and the girls have raised the bar with each passing game under the able leadership of Mithali Raj. The women’s World Cup has been widely followed across India and this team’s spirit and performance on the field has won admirers all over the world. I am sure this team has inspired the next generation of cricketers and many more girls will take up the sport in the years to come.”  I Like To Perform When There Are Challenges Ravindra Jadeja

Acting President C.K. Khanna said: “The BCCI acknowledges the performance of the Indian women’s cricket team that has qualified for the final of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017.”

“The team has a good blend of young talent and experienced campaigners in captain Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami. The all-round performance was on display in the semi-final against Australia women, who have won the World Cup six times. The fearless batting of Harmanpreet Kaur mirrors the team’s approach under pressure,” Khanna added.

This is the Indian women’s team’s second entry in a World Cup final, having lost to Australia in their first attempt in 2005 at Centurion. Virender Sehwag Would Be Instructed To Keep His Mouth Shut If Appointed As Head Coach
