The celebrations for India’s historic maiden ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 triumph are far from over. Pacer Kranti Gaud has added a viral high-swag moment to the mix by recreating Hardik Pandya’s famous trophy pose.

The 22-year-old fast bowler, a key member of the victorious Women in Blue squad, took to Instagram to share a picture that mirrored Hardik Pandya’s trademark celebration.

Pandya first made the nonchalant “shoulder shrug” pose popular after India’s T20 World Cup 2024 and Champions Trophy 2025 wins, a gesture that screams, “just another day at the office.”

Gaud’s photo shows her standing on the pitch at the DY Patil Stadium, the newly-won World Cup trophy resting in front of her, as she strikes the same confident pose.

The post quickly went viral with fans praising her swagger and drawing comparisons between the two cricketers’ triumphant gestures.

The image was shared with a concise and heartfelt caption capturing her emotion:

“Feeling every bit of this dream come true”

This memorable moment where a young women cricketer pays homage to a star male player while holding the ultimate prize in her own sport perfectly symbolises the pride and growing stature of women’s cricket in India.
