“Best wishes to the Indian Women’s Cricket Team for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. Play with courage, belief, and freedom. The entire nation is behind you. Go well, enjoy the journey and make India proud,” Laxman wrote on X.

The former batter also emphasised enjoying the experience, while reminding the players of the support they carry from fans back home.

The good wishes were echoed by India all-rounder Sneh Rana, who was part of the squad that lifted the ODI World Cup and understands what it takes to succeed on the biggest stage.

Looking back at that landmark triumph, Rana backed the team to create history once again as she wrote, “We have done it once, we can do it again… Let’s bring home another World Cup… All the best #teamindia . Let’s give the country another reason to be proud of, another reason to celebrate. Go win it…“

Rana’s message serves as a reminder of the belief surrounding the current group. Having already broken new ground with their World Cup success, India’s players will be hoping to build on that achievement and make another memorable run on the global stage.

Harmanpreet Kaur and her team now turn their attention to the task at hand as they begin their quest for Women’s T20 World Cup glory.
