In a proud recognition of India’s historic ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 triumph, the Maharashtra Government has announced ₹2.25 crore each for cricketers Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Radha Yadav. The gesture celebrates their outstanding contribution to the nation’s victory and marks a milestone moment for women’s cricket in India.
Jemimah Rodrigues scripted history with a stunning unbeaten 127 off 134 balls, guiding India to a record chase of 339 runs against defending champions Australia in the Women’s World Cup semi-final at DY Patil Stadium. Overcoming personal struggles and earlier setbacks, Rodrigues’ emotional comeback marked one of India’s most iconic cricket moments.
