The Indian women’s cricket team met Prime Minister Narendra Modi after their historic World Cup win at Lok Kalyan Marg. The players were in high spirits when they met the Prime Minister on Wednesday. What started as a formal discussion soon took a hilarious turn when Indian batter Harleen Kaur Deol split the room into giggles with a question no one saw coming.
During the official meeting at the Prime Minister’s residence at Lok Kalyan Marg, PM Modi congratulated the team on their historic World Cup win.
Soon, Harleen decided to ask a fun question. Instead of asking something about cricket, she surprised everyone by asking, “Sir, your skin is always glowing. Can you please tell me what your skincare routine is?”
The room burst into laughter as the PM Modi smiled and replied, “I did not pay a lot of attention to this.”
Sneh Rana, while adding to the conversation between the two, said, “Sir, it’s the love of millions of people in this country!”
PM Modi responded to Rana’s remark and said, “I’ve been in government for 25 years now. Receiving so many blessings has a lasting impact.”
India’s years’ dream of capturing the ICC Women’s World Cup finally came to an end after two heartbreaks in 2005 and 2017 finals, as they defeated South Africa by 52 runs in a clinical performance at the finals, which saw Shafali Sharma (87 and 2/36) and Deepti Sharma (58 and 5/39) delivering all-round performances that would stay imprinted in the minds’ of millions and serve as a tale of inspiration for the cricketers of the future.
India joined Australia, England and New Zealand as ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup winners and, like the latter two, did so for the first time on home soil.
