At the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday, joy and heartbreak played out side by side. India ended years of waiting with their maiden Women’s ODI World Cup crown, defeating South Africa by 52 runs. But as one half of the ground erupted in celebration, the other stood still. South Africa failed to end their own drought. Veteran Marizanne Kapp, South Africa’s seasoned all-rounder, was in tears after another final slipped away. Who knows if she was playing her last ODI!
In a touching moment that would melt everyone’s heart, India’s Jemimah Rodrigues and Radha Yadav were seen consoling Kapp, their Delhi Capitals teammate in the Women’s Premier League (WPL). The trio has shared the dressing room for three straight WPL seasons, helping DC reach the final each year. Their bond off the field was on display as they came together in the aftermath of an emotional ICC Women’s World Cup final.
