India's captain Harmanpreet Kaur celebrated the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 triumph with a specially designed tattoo.
The tattoo features the ICC World Cup trophy, along with numbers -- 2025 and 52 -- which symbolises the year of the title triumph and winning margin in the final against South Africa.
At Navi Mumbai on Sunday (November 2), India beat South Africa by 52 runs en route to clinching their maiden ICC Women's World Cup title.
"Forever etched in my skin and my heart. Waited for you since Day 1 and now I will see you every morning and be grateful," Harmanpreet posted on her Instagram account.
With a portable music player in hand playing Punjabi hits and sporting sunglasses, Harmanpreet’s joy after the World cup win resembled to that of a little girl who finally had laid hands on an elusive trophy.
"We have been talking about this for many years - we’ve been playing good cricket, but we had to win one big tournament. (But) without that, we couldn’t talk about change," Harmanpreet had told the media after India’s historic win.
"At the end of the day, fans and the audience want to see their favourite team win. It’s not that we weren’t playing good cricket, but we were waiting badly for this moment, and today we got a chance to live it. I don’t know how to express it, but I’m so happy and so proud of this team," added Harmanpreet who broke India's World Cup jinx.
The team had reached the final of the tournament in two editions -- 2005 and 2017 -- before faltering in the summit.
However, third time proved to be lucky with Harmanpreet's self-belief proving to a major factor which helped the Women in Blue go the distance.
