Yet Kapil's Devils stunned the West Indies team and destroyed their dreams of winning the World Cup thrice in a row. Even the World Cup won by Indian Women team in Mumbai has a special significance. It's a fantastic victory.</p><p>The Indian women team who were shattered with successive three losses in round robin league, made a remarkable comeback to win the world cup," praised Kirmani at the sidelines of annual Sports meet of Gonzaga school organised at Mangala Stadium on Monday. </p><p>"Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma and others are assets of Indian team. The captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur in World cup was brilliant. When India lost the toss and went to bat first, it was expected that the team would amass a total of 300 plus runs. But that did not happen. But the manner in which Indian team pinned the South Africa team was splendid. Earlier the South African Men's team was known for their 'choker' reputation.
