Harmanpreet Kaur was seen posing with the trophy alongside PM Modi while the rest of the squad joined them. The team had entered PM’s Lok Kalyan Marg residence at around 4:15 in the evening in a white bus with tight security on offer. PM Modi was also gifted a jersey of the Indian team, which had No.1 written on it.
As quoted by ANI, during the meeting, Harmanpreet asked PM Modi how he manages to always remain in the present. PM said that being so has been a part of his life and has become his habit. PM also recalled the famous catch of Harleen in 2021 against England, about which he had posted on social media at that time.
PM discussed how Harmanpreet pocketed the ball after the final match. She said she was lucky that the ball came to her, and she kept it. PM discussed the now-famous catch of Amanjot Kaur, which she took after several fumbles. She said this is one fumble that she likes to see. PM said while catching, you must be seeing the ball, but after the catch, you must be seeing the trophy.
