The India women's national cricket team has earned a historic nomination for the Laureus World Team of the Year Award, becoming the first women’s cricket team to receive the honour. The nomination follows India’s landmark victory in the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, where the team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, defeated South Africa women's national cricket team by 52 runs in the final at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai. India’s campaign also featured a record-breaking semifinal win against Australia women's national cricket team, chasing 339 the highest successful run chase in women’s ODI history. The nomination marks a major milestone for women’s cricket and Indian sport.
