Radha Yadav, a left-arm spinner for the Indian women’s team, while celebrating their historic win over England, a first series success on English soil (ICC), declared that they will “dominate” the game this season.

 

India clinched an unassailable 3–1 lead in the five-match series after defeating England by a comfortable margin at Old Trafford. Claiming two wickets and earning Player of the Match honours, Radha proved her worth, as England were restricted to 126/7, a phenomenal win for India’s tour.

 

Speaking after the match, Radha emphasised that the mindset and unity of the current squad mark a significant shift. She said: “The belief and the dedication this time is different … this is a different team and we are going to dominate no matter what.”

 

Aged 25 and a women’s T20 World Cup veteran, Radha believes this tour could herald a new era for Indian women's cricket.

 

The catch Radha took, snapping up a sharp chance in mid–innings, symbolised India’s growing assertiveness. The ICC reflected on her performance, tweeting: “A strong performance with the ball sets up an India victory and series honours over England in Manchester.”

 

Meanwhile, England captain Charlotte Edwards struck an optimistic tone despite the defeat, remarking on Sky Sports: “We are a team on a journey … soon you will see an improved team in ODI cricket”

 

T20I Finale: The fifth and final T20I is scheduled for July 12 in Birmingham, where India can seal their first-ever series victory in England.

 

Looking ahead: Radha’s forecast of dominance sets expectations high as the team prepares for the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup, where form and momentum from this tour will be critical.

 

Radha’s bold statement isn’t just post-match bravado—it captures a team finding its identity, confidence, and potential to lead the global game. With one match left in England and the Women’s T20 World Cup on the horizon, India’s rise may indeed be beginning.
