After years as a domestic cricket legend with 11,167 first-class runs but no India cap, Amol Muzumdar finally got his redemption. On November 2, 2025, he coached the Indian Women’s Team to their first-ever ODI World Cup victory.
His calm, empathetic leadership was the secret sauce. After early tournament struggles, he reignited the team’s belief with an honest, straight talk. The result: a stunning comeback, a historic win over Australia in the semi-finals, and a 52-run victory against South Africa in the final.
This is a story of destiny delayed, not denied. The ultimate team player, Amol Muzumdar finally got to win for his country, this time from the sidelines.
