Mithali Raj took to Twitter and shared, "This day at Lord's in 2017 did not favour us but I believe it helped turn a page in Indian women's cricket. It changed the perspective toward women's cricket in India. The support our team received thereafter sparked a revolution with younger talents taking up the game."

India had concluded their World Cup campaign on the third spot in the points table with five victories in 7 matches in the round-robin stage of the tournament and faced Australia in the semi-finals. Harmanpreet Kaur's record-breaking 171'-run knock destroyed the tournament's favourite Australians as India qualified for the final.
India lost the ICC Women's World Cup 2017 final against England by nine runs. The Mithali Raj-led side was in a brilliant position to lift its first-ever trophy but Anya Shrubsole's six-wicket haul snatched India's happiness.
