‘Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues & Radha Yadav To Be Honoured By Maharashtra Govt After Historic ICC Women’s World Cup Win’: CM Devendra Fadnavis
Mumbai: India continues to celebrate a historic sporting milestone after the national women’s cricket team clinched their maiden ICC Women’s World Cup title, defeating South Africa by 52 runs in a thrilling final at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on November 2.
Applauding the team’s outstanding achievement, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Tuesday, announced that the state cabinet had passed a motion of appreciation to honour the champions. “Our women’s team performed exceptionally at the ICC Women’s World Cup and won the tournament for the first time. For 25 years, only three countries had dominated it and for the first time, the world has found a new winner,” said Fadnavis.
He further added that the Maharashtra government has approved a proposal to felicitate three players from the state, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Radha Yadav, who played a crucial role in India’s title-winning campaign. “The cabinet has warmly congratulated the team for their historic achievement,” Fadnavis said, commending the athletes for inspiring a new generation of sportspersons.
Reports also suggest that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to meet the victorious team on Wednesday, November 5, to personally congratulate them. However, there has been no official confirmation from the Prime Minister’s Office.
Addressing the Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC) 2025 earlier yesterday, PM Modi lauded the women’s team for their trailblazing success. “This event is about science, but first, I must talk about India’s spectacular victory in cricket. All of India is overjoyed with this success. This is India’s first Women’s World Cup, and we are proud of you. Your victory will inspire millions of young people across the country,” the Prime Minister said.
The Indian team displayed remarkable skill and resilience in the high-stakes final. After being asked to bat first, they posted a formidable total of 299 runs. South Africa began their chase confidently but crumbled under pressure, getting bowled out for 246 in 45.3 overs.
Following the landmark win, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a Rs 51-crore cash reward for the players and support staff. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia hailed the victory as a monumental achievement that will take Indian women’s cricket to a new level.

Delhi Police registers 3 FIRs over anti-CEC Gyanesh Kumar protests

New Delhi, Oct 3: The Delhi Police registered at least three FIRs in connection with protests held in the national Capital demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, officials said.
Two of the FIRs were registered at the Parliament Street Police Station, while another case was registered at the Connaught Place Police Station, according to officials.
They added that the cases have been registered under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertains to disobedience of an order duly promulgated by a public servant.
No individual or organisation has been specifically named as an accused in any of the FIRs, officials said. However, they added that the details of the organisers as well as organisations that had proposed or participated in the demonstrations have been included in the contents of the cases.
The FIRs were registered following a day of protests across central Delhi, where Opposition activists, students and members of youth organisations attempted to march towards Jantar Mantar to raise their demands.
Police detained over 1,000 protesters as they tried to cross barricades and make their way towards the designated protest site, according to officials. Those detained from the streets were taken away in buses arranged by the Delhi Police and transported to different police stations across the city.
Among those detained were former Delhi Chief Minister and senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi, AISA president Neha Bora and Swaraj India leader Yogendra Yadav. The detainees also included several AAP leaders, civil society activists, members of Left-backed student organisations and workers associated with the Congress’ youth wing.
The protests were organised amid demands for accountability over alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise and calls for the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
The Delhi Police had earlier said that permission had not been granted for the proposed demonstration at Jantar Mantar and had put extensive security arrangements in place across central Delhi.
