Indian women’s cricket team left enthusiasts happy with their World Cup-winning performance on Sunday, and their victory also caught the attention of Indian-origin tech giants- Satya Nadella and Sundar Pichai- who shared their greetings with the mighty eves.
Sundar Pichai, Google CEO, remembered the 1983 and 2011 World Cup memories while congratulating the Indian women’s team.
He said: “That was a nail-biting women’s world cup cricket final, memories of 1983 and 2011 indeed. Congrats to team India, am sure will inspire a whole generation. Great tournament from South Africa too!.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote on X: “Women in Blue = World Champions!”
“Respect to South Africa for making their first-ever final A truly historic day for women’s cricket—new chapters written, barriers, legends born” he said.
Indian eves, led by skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, put up a spirited performance to beat South Africa by 52 runs to lift the 50-over World Cup for the first time in the history of the tournament.
Indian bowlers kept things tight and picked up wickets at regular intervals to bowl out the opponents for 246, in 45. 3 overs, after posting a competitive 298 runs for the loss of seven wickets on the scoreboard.
