India’s women’s cricket captain has stepped down from her role across all three formats after leading the team to a historic World Cup victory in 2025.
Her departure marks the end of a significant period in Indian women’s cricket. During her time as captain, she became closely associated with the team’s rise and helped inspire a stronger public following for the women’s game in India.
The captain led India during its landmark 2025 World Cup triumph, the achievement that defined the closing stage of her leadership. She has now relinquished the captaincy in every format, bringing her era as skipper to an end.
No further details about the timing of the decision or who will succeed her have been provided. The immediate focus will be on India’s next leadership arrangements across the three formats following the World Cup-winning campaign.
