Winning in England is always a challenge: Sachin Tendulkar on India Women's triumphs in ODI, T20I series

Sachin Tendulkar lauds Indian Women's cricket team for winning T20I and ODI series in England, highlighting team's exceptional performance

"Winning in England is always a challenge - Sachin Tendulkar"

Mumbai, July 24

Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar has complimented the Indian Women's team for winning both the T20I and ODI series on their recent tour of England and said winning in England is always a challenge.

India Women won the T20I series 3-2 and then emerged 2-1 winners in the ODI series with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur striking a century in the third and final match.

With the team winning both the series in England for the first time, Tendulkar has shared his thoughts on their successful tour of England in the India Cricket Community on Reddit.

"Winning in England is always a challenge, and doing it across both T20Is and ODIs speaks volumes about the team's preparation and mindset," said Tendulkar in his post on Reddit.

He also noted the performance of the most experienced batters -- Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, as both of them struck hundreds at opposite ends of the series.

"Smriti's hundred in the first T20I set the tone early in the tour. Harmanpreet's century in the final ODI built on that momentum. Kranti followed it up beautifully with the ball, picking up six wickets in a pressure situation. Others played their part too, stepping up in key moments across both series," said Tendulkar.

The former India captain and the legendary batter said the team will gain a lot of confidence from these performances with the World Cups in the two formats up ahead.

"These performances will give the team a lot of confidence going forward. With two World Cups on the horizon, this will be vital for the belief it builds. Well played, Team India," wrote Sachin Tendulkar in his post.

While I'm happy about the wins, we shouldn't ignore the middle-order collapses in some matches. The team needs to work on consistency before the big tournaments. But kudos to Smriti and Harman for their brilliant centuries!

When Sachin paaji himself appreciates, you know it's special! The women's team is making us proud consistently now. BCCI should invest more in women's cricket infrastructure - these girls deserve better facilities and more matches.

The bowling unit was outstanding! Kranti's 6-wicket haul was the highlight for me. Our spinners outclassed England batters completely. Hope they get the recognition they deserve - women's cricket needs more media coverage in India.

As someone who follows both men's and women's cricket, this performance was more impressive than many of our men's team tours to England. The way they handled pressure situations shows great mental strength. Future looks bright!
