NEW DELHI: (Dec 30) Whether it was the brutal boxing ring, the rough and tumble of a cricket field, the mind games on a chess board or finding the precise target in shooting and archery, the year 2025 well and truly belonged to India’s path-breaking sportswomen who were an unstoppable force across disciplines.
A 19-year-old chess prodigy Divya Deshmukh became India’s first woman World Cup winner. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led cricket team smiled through a difficult phase and shut out kitchen taunts on social media to claim the silverware in the ODI format against all expectations.
At the shooting range, another 19-year-old, Suruchi Singh, amassed four World Cup gold medals, including three individual, in the 10m air pistol competition to make her presence felt in a category that was synonymous with double Olympic-medallist Manu Bhaker up until now.
