Allrounder Amanjot Kaur made important contributions in the field which went a long way in helping India win their maiden Women’s World Cup title by defeating South Africa by 52 runs in the final at Navi Mumbai on Sunday. Amanjot set the tone by running out opener Tazmin Brits with a pin-point throw, breaking the partnership with Laura Wolvaardt. She would then turn the match on its head when she managed to keep hold of Wolvaardt’s catch after initially fumbling it three times which all but ended the Proteas resistance. “So girls, we talk about special moments. We talk about special occasions. A lot of times it’s a 100 or a 50 but there are some moments in the game that changes lives forever. And that moment has changed our lives forever and that is today Amanjot. First starting with the run out to set the tone in the chase and then you just didn’t catch that catch, you caught the World Cup,” Jemimah Rodrigues said while handing over the best fielder’s medal to Amanjot …

They thought their dream was being snatched away from them. Quite a few times, in fact. After three consecutive defeats in the group stage, after an injury to a key player on a night when the weather gods acted finicky, after staring at a mountain of runs against the erstwhile champions in the semifinals, and after South Africa threatened to hunt them down in the final. But Harmanpreet Kaur and Co have shown they are also escape artists. Sunday’s historic triumph was no different. Batting first, India played it safe. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur said they didn’t want to be over-ambitious with the bat and settled for 300 as a competitive target to defend in a final. They fell short by one run. And the way South Africa crafted their chase, it seemed India had miscalculated. “There was a lot of tension in between when they were batting,” Harmanpreet admitted. Story continues below this ad Yet again, though, India dug into their endless resource of guts and grace to swing the momentum back in their favour …

At a crucial juncture of the Women’s World Cup final, South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt was looking ominous, scoring a century and looking to drag the Proteas over the line against India to their first World Cup trophy. But fate had other plans for India after years of heartbreaks. Trying to change gears, Wolvaardt tried to take on Deepti Sharma and slammed a ball high towards the mid-wicket region where allrounder Amanjot Kaur was patrolling the boundary. With the ball in the air, Amanjot readied herself and caught hold of it before fumbling thrice but just managed to hold on to it with one hand. That was the turning point with India ultimately winning their maiden ICC Trophy by defeating South Africa by 52 runs. “My god, it was the toughest catch of my life. I have never fumbled before — either I have taken them or spilled them. There has been nothing in between but for the first time god gave me three chances (to take it). It was a crucial catch and we …

Bhupinder Singh has been taking his 75-year-old mother Bhagwanti to hospital this week after she suffered a heart attack. However, Bhupinder, a carpenter and contractor, kept the news of his mother’s ill-health from his daughter and allrounder Amanjot Singh. He didn’t want her to lose focus while playing in the ICC Women’s World Cup at home. When Amanjot started playing cricket with neighbourhood boys, her grandmother would sit on a chair in the park to cheer for her. She would also ensure that nobody troubled her granddaughter. As the Harmanpreet Kaur led Indian team won the World Cup in Mumbai, Singh ensured his mother got match updates regularly. “My mother Bhagwanti has been Amanjot’s pillar of strength since the day she started playing cricket outside on the street and the park at our Phase 5 residence in Mohali. While I would be at my carpentry shop at Balongi, she would make sure to sit outside the home or at the park to oversee Amanjot playing with the boys as well as other girls. After she …

With 24 needed off 17 balls in the cauldron that was the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Mumbai Indians lost the wicket of Harmanpreet Kaur. A run-chase that seemed well within MI’s grasp was suddenly starting to slip away as the lower order was left to finish the job. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans were roaring once more. On her way back, the MI captain took a minute to chat briefly with her partner, Amanjot Kaur. “Harman di just told me, ‘If you stay out there, you’ll be able to do it easily’. And I told her, ‘I’ll do it for you, don’t worry’,” the younger Kaur revealed later. And so, with 22 runs needed off 12 balls, Amanjot smashed two sixes in the 19th over that dragged MI back into the match and eventually, across the finish line as 16-year-old G Kamalini held her nerve in the last over. It was the day Amanjot had been waiting for a long time – to be a match-winner for Mumbai Indians with both bat and ball. She did …
