India’s men’s cricket team, including Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill, sent a special message of support to the women’s squad ahead of the ODI World Cup final vs South Africa, urging them to back themselves and bring the cup home.
India’s men’s cricket team, who are in the midst of a five-match T20I series against Australia, sent a heartfelt message of support to the women’s squad ahead of the ODI World Cup final against South Africa on November 2. Players including Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Shubman Gill extended their best wishes, urging Harmanpreet Kaur and her teammates to lift the trophy.
“Just enjoy the occasion. You don’t get to play a lot of World Cup finals. You don’t need to do anything different. You are playing really well. Back yourself and enjoy the moment. Give your best and everything else will take care of itself. All the best from everyone over here and we will be cheering for you guys,” Bumrah said in a video released by the BCCI.
Suryakumar Yadav sends message among others
The men’s team also encouraged the side to play a fearless brand of cricket in the final and to follow the same routine they have so far. Captain Suryakumar Yadav, in the meantime, congratulated the team for an amazing campaign so far and asked the women’s team for one last push in the final in Navi Mumbai.
“Wishing the women’s team, all the very best for the World Cup final. Just enjoy the occasion, be yourself. I think you have had an amazing campaign till now. My boys and the whole support staff, we are with you. Last push for India, Jai Hind,” Suryakumar said in the video.
Notably, keeper-batter Jitesh Sharma sent a special message to fellow Maharashtrian Smriti Mandhana, asking her to play a great innings in the final and win the game for India.
“Smriti, special best of luck to you. Play an amazing innings in the final and finish the match. All the best to the rest of the women’s team,” Jitesh said.
Rinku Singh, who was with Jitesh, Arshdeep Singh and Washington Sundar, hilariously added to remember and have faith in god’s plan.
