Indian women’s cricket team visits Mahakaleshwar after World Cup defeats
The Indian women’s cricket team made a spiritual pit stop at Ujjain’s Mahakaleshwar Temple on Wednesday, seeking blessings after back-to-back losses in the ICC Women’s World Cup. The players took part in the early morning Bhasma Aarti, a powerful ritual, hoping to turn their luck around.
After two solid wins, India hit a rough patch with losses to South Africa and Australia, leaving them in fourth place with four points from four matches. However, their performance against Australia showed they’re capable of challenging the top teams, with strong contributions from Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Richa Ghosh, and others.
India needs to win all three remaining league games to reach the semifinals, starting with a crucial match against England on Sunday. The stakes are high, and the team’s fate is in their hands.
