In a moment that resonated across the nation, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, and Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, joined millions of Indians in celebrating the Indian women’s cricket team for their historic win in the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup. The Women in Blue clinched their maiden title by defeating South Africa by 52 runs in a thrilling final held in Navi Mumbai.
Both tech leaders, known for their passion for cricket, took to social media to express their admiration for the team’s remarkable achievement. Pichai likened the victory to India’s legendary World Cup campaigns in 1983 and 2011, stating, “That was a nail-biting women’s World Cup cricket final, memories of 1983 and 2011 indeed. Congrats to Team India; I’m sure this will inspire a whole generation. Great tournament from South Africa too!”
Nadella echoed this sentiment, calling the day a moment of legends being born. He praised both teams, writing, “Women in Blue = World Champions! Respect to South Africa for making their first-ever final. A truly historic day for women’s cricket—new chapters written, barriers broken, legends born.”
This victory marks a significant milestone for Indian women’s cricket, as the team finally overcame the heartbreaks of the 2005 and 2017 World Cup finals. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) celebrated the achievement by announcing a cash prize of ₹51 crore for the victorious team.
As the nation revels in this historic win, the words of Pichai and Nadella remind us of the power of sports to inspire and unite, transcending boundaries and creating legends.
