On Wednesday, Omaxe Limited introduced India's inaugural 'Pink Stand' at their new cricket stadium in Dwarka, Delhi, which has a capacity of 30,000 seats. This stand is named after the captain of the Indian women's cricket team, Harmanpreet Kaur.
Harmanpreet Kaur's Reaction
During the launch event, Harmanpreet expressed her joy, stating, "I am feeling very good. The stand belongs to all the women. It is a great feeling. I thank Omaxe."
Promoting Inclusivity in Sports
This initiative aims to improve safety and comfort for female spectators, representing a significant advancement towards inclusivity in sports facilities across the nation.
Harmanpreet's Recent Achievements
Harmanpreet recently led the Indian women's team to their first ICC Women's Cricket World Cup title in November 2025, scoring 260 runs in eight innings with an average of 32.50. Her pivotal 89 runs in the semi-final against Australia were crucial, and she became the highest run-scorer in Women's ODI World Cup knockout matches with a total of 331 runs.
Upcoming Tours for the Women's Team
The Indian women's cricket team is scheduled to tour South Africa next month for a five-match T20I series, followed by a three-match T20I series in England ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup commencing on June 12.
Regarding the South Africa tour, Kaur mentioned, "That was the reason behind it before the World Cup, if we can go and play some matches in South Africa. Hopefully, this tour will tick all the boxes that we as a team are taking there."
Celebrating Indian Cricket's Success
Reflecting on the recent achievements of Indian cricket across various formats, including the men's team retaining the T20 World Cup, Harmanpreet noted the shared joy within the cricket community. "After the World Cup, we all met at the BCCI Awards, and both the teams congratulated each other because not only two teams but all our five teams have won the World Cup this time. So, everyone was sharing their feelings and emotions with each other," she stated.
The 37-year-old praised the Board of Control for Cricket in India for its contributions to the teams' successes, saying, "I felt very good that this year was very good for BCCI. We have won all the ICC titles. So, that shows that they are putting in really hard work and are giving results to all the teams."
She concluded, "As a cricketer, our aim is to play the best cricket, attract the audience and entertain them in a good way so that they can keep coming and watching us. That's our aim, to play well so that we can entertain everyone."
Inspiration Behind the 'Pink Stand'
Mohit Goel, Managing Director of Omaxe, shared that the idea for the dedicated stand was inspired by Harmanpreet's World Cup-winning moment. "When I saw her taking that catch and winning the World Cup on 2nd November, we were contemplating how we can give back to her and to women's cricket throughout the country. So that's when we thought, let's make a pink stand that women should feel secure and absolutely safe while watching the match, and they can enjoy without worrying about anything else," Goel explained.
