In a landmark moment for Indian sports, the Indian women’s cricket team has been crowned Times of India’s Sportsperson of the Year 2025—celebrating their emotional, hard-fought World Cup victory that united millions.
India’s women’s cricket team is on the brink of a 5-0 T20 whitewash against Sri Lanka, but their sloppy fielding—especially dropped catches—remains a glaring weakness head coach Amol Muzumdar must address before high-stakes contests.
Smriti Mandhana is on the verge of a historic milestone—just 62 runs away from surpassing Shubman Gill in total international runs across all formats. This isn’t just a personal achievement; it’s a landmark moment for women’s cricket in India.
Fresh off India’s historic ODI World Cup win, star batter Smriti Mandhana has delivered a sobering message: resting on past success is a recipe for failure. In a candid reflection, she warns the team that the next World Cup opportunity may not come if they grow complacent.

In a candid revelation, Jemimah Rodrigues spilled the tea on a light-hearted yet intense moment between Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur that led to the captain’s now-iconic bhangra celebration after the Women’s T20 World Cup win.
