Champions Are Back! Indian Women's Cricket Team Arrive In Delhi After Historic Asia Cup Triumph Amid Trophy Row

The Indian women's cricket team arrived in New Delhi on Monday after securing their eighth Women's Asia Cup title. The victorious team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the final held in Dubai. India's dominant performance included a remarkable 183/5 in the first innings, thanks to Shafali Verma's 68 runs off 39 balls and Smriti Mandhana's 59 runs.

The team's strong showing in the tournament led to a record-extending eighth Women's Asia Cup title. Upon their arrival in Delhi, the players were greeted warmly. However, controversy arose during the trophy presentation when the Indian team decided not to collect the trophy from Asian Cricket Council chairman Mohsin Naqvi. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla confirmed that the BCCI collectively decided not to accept the trophy due to the circumstances.

Despite this, India's eighth Women's Asia Cup win remains a highlight of their campaign, and the team now focuses on the upcoming Asian Games in Japan, aiming to continue their impressive streak.
