The picture that has Sehwag sitting with Harmanpreet Kaur, Veda Krishnamurthy, Jhulan Goswami, Ekta Bisht, Poonam Yadav, and Rajeshwari Gayakwad, has the caption, “What a joy and pleasure to meet these wonderful girls who make us so proud. @ImHarmanpreet , @vedakmurthy08 Jhulan, Ekta,Poonam & Rajeshwari.”

The Indian women’s cricket team had a wonderful start to their World Cup campaign defeating hosts and eventual champions England in their opening game, and winning four consecutive games. A little scare in the middle, thanks to losses to Australia and South Africa, left Mithali Raj’s girls in a must-win game against New Zealand, which they did in style.

And then in the semfinals, Harmanpreet Kaur’s heroics took India to the finals against England, where they lost by nine runs.
