“To me, the dream started in 1983 when I was only 10 years old. But you winning this World Cup, you’ve actually given birth to many dreams. There are so many young girls in India and beyond who aspire to be like you, so big congratulations on that."
This World Cup win has given birth to many dreams. Girls in India & across the world will aspire to be like you.
