The Indian women’s Cricket team, recently crowned world champions, is showing strong support for their male counterparts as the Men in Blue gear up for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. The bond between the two teams is stronger than ever.
Having just secured India’s first Women’s ODI World Cup title in late 2025, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team are now cheering on Suryakumar Yadav and his squad. This united spirit is setting a positive tone for the upcoming tournament, a significant event for Indian cricket.

Harmanpreet, the captain, expressed her unwavering confidence, saying, “Wishing Team India all the best for T20 World Cup. Play with all your heart, enjoy, and we know you are going to win. Best of luck.” Her message, shared in a video by BCCI women on social media, reflects her recent achievement in leading the team to victory over South Africa in a tense final in Navi Mumbai.
Smriti Mandhana, the vice-captain and a key batter, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the team’s talent. “Wishing the best for the Indian Team, looking really good. We are looking forward to another cup. But no pressure, and hopefully we can play well,” she noted. Her reminder to avoid pressure is especially meaningful, considering the women’s team’s journey from near-misses to ultimate success.
Star all-rounder Deepti Sharma, who was named Player of the Tournament in the 2025 World Cup, added an emotional touch by emphasizing the significance of playing at home. “Wishing you all the very best, this will be special since it’s in India. Bring the cup home,” Deepti encouraged.
Additionally, wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh, known for her explosive finishes, acknowledged the shared ambition of the nation: “Wishing you all the best for the Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, good luck guys.”
