After receiving the trophy from the International Cricket Council (ICC) President Jay Shah, Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur first celebrated with her teammates. During this time, a video of her apologizing to someone went viral on social media. In the video going viral on social media, Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur and other teammates showed the World Cup trophy to former Indian players Anjum Chopra, Mithali Raj, and Jhulan Goswami.
At that time, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana apologized to Jhulan Goswami, saying, "I apologize for not being able to win the World Cup last time."

Former Indian women's team captain Mithali Raj said, "For more than two decades, I have dreamed of seeing Indian women lift the World Cup trophy. Tonight, that dream has finally come true. From the heartbreak of 2005 to the battle of 2017, every tear, every sacrifice, every young girl who picked up the bat believing we are here, all of this has led to this moment. To the new champions of world cricket, you have not only won the trophy but also won every heart that beats for Indian women's cricket. Jai Hind..."
