And recently, he met some of the women in blue including Harmanpreet Kaur, Jhulan Goswami, Veda Krishnamurthy, Ekta Bisht, Poonam Raut and Rajeshwari Gayakwadafter which he shared a picture in which he could be seen with them.
Last month, the Mithali Raj-led team Indian women performed phenomenally in the 8-team world tournament and reached the finals after 12 long years. They defeated the 6-time world champions Australia by 36 runs in and faced the English team in the finals. Unfortunately, they fell short by just 9 runs and lost the chance to script history. However, their overall performance was commendable and also applauded world wide.
