After their remarkable World Cup win, the Indian women’s cricket team met the Indian Prime Minister on Thursday. During their meeting with PM Modi in Delhi, the team enlightened the Prime Minister about the winning campaign.
The campaign was not the only topic covered when India's women cricketers sat down for a light-hearted conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence, where tattoos and even skin care routines came up for discussion, as reported by news agency PTI.
Earlier on Sunday, India defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the final to lift their first-ever global title in Navi Mumbai, following which the squad, along with head coach Amol Muzumdar and BCCI president Mithun Manhas, met the Prime Minister in Delhi on Wednesday.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, during the meeting with the Prime Minister, said, "I still remember when we met you in 2017. At that time, we did not come with a trophy. But it is a matter of great honour for us that this time, for something we have been working so hard for for so many years, we have brought the trophy here," according to the video posted by PM Modi on X.
Indian skipper Harmanpreet further added that, "Our aim is that we meet you again and again in the future and take photos with you and your team again and again," as per PTI.
During their second appearance in the Women's World Cup final in 2017, India had lost to England by a mere nine runs, after which the squad had met the Prime Minister.
PM Modi further replied that, "You have done a great job. In India, cricket is not just a game. In a way, it has become the life of the people of India. If there is good happening in cricket, India feels good, and even if there is a little bit of wrong happening in cricket, the whole of India feels bad," as per PTI.
The PM then went on to ask Player of the Tournament Deepti Sharma about her Hanuman tattoo that has gone viral on social media.
But the moment that had the entire room in splits was when top-order batter Harleen Deol asked Modi about his skincare routine. "I do not think about all that," the PM responded with a hearty laugh.
