Before the historic triumph at Potchefstroom, India had finished runners-up in the finals of three World Cups finals -- twice in 2005 and 2017 ODI World Cups while once in the 2020 T20 World Cup, apart from ending up with a silver medal in the 2022 Commonwealth Games gold-medal final.

Sunday's victory at Potchefstroom by the India U19 Women's team truly felt like the end of a long-standing jinx. Former India captain Shubhangi Kulkarni feels the victory by the U19 women's team will be the start of more titles to come for the country in future.
