India’s women’s cricket team honoured with Laureus world team of the year nomination
India’s women’s cricket team has been nominated for the prestigious 2026 Laureus World Team of the Year Award, marking the first time a women’s cricket side has been recognised in the team category by the global honours body. The nomination was officially confirmed by Laureus Sport on March 3, 2026, following India’s stunning first-ever ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup title win in November 2025.
India’s unforgettable journey to the top began at the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, where the team produced a series of memorable performances under captain Harmanpreet Kaur to lift their maiden World Cup trophy. The turning point in their campaign came following a record-breaking semi-final victory over Australia, where India successfully chased down a target of 339, the highest successful run chase in women’s ODI history.
“In their Cricket World Cup semi-final against Australia, the India Women’s Cricket Team pulled off the highest successful run chase in women’s ODI history (339) – before winning their first title against South Africa and are the first women’s cricket team to be nominated for this Award," Laureus Sport said in a press release.
In achieving this milestone, India join an elite shortlist featuring England’s women’s football team, the European Ryder Cup team, Paris Saint-Germain, McLaren Formula 1, and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
