Winning in England is always a challenge: Sachin Tendulkar on India Women's triumphs in ODI, T20I series
India Women won the T20I series 3-2 and then emerged 2-1 winners in the ODI series with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur striking a century in the third and final match.
With the team winning both the series in England for the first time, Tendulkar has shared his thoughts on their successful tour of England in the India Cricket Community on Reddit.
"Winning in England is always a challenge, and doing it across both T20Is and ODIs speaks volumes about the team's preparation and mindset," said Tendulkar in his post on Reddit.
He also noted the performance of the most experienced batters -- Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, as both of them struck hundreds at opposite ends of the series.
"Smriti's hundred in the first T20I set the tone early in the tour. Harmanpreet's century in the final ODI built on that momentum. Kranti followed it up beautifully with the ball, picking up six wickets in a pressure situation. Others played their part too, stepping up in key moments across both series," said Tendulkar.
The former India captain and the legendary batter said the team will gain a lot of confidence from these performances with the World Cups in the two formats up ahead.
"These performances will give the team a lot of confidence going forward. With two World Cups on the horizon, this will be vital for the belief it builds. Well played, Team India," wrote Sachin Tendulkar in his post.

ENG vs IND Live Streaming Info, 5th Test: When and where to watch India tour of England 2025; match details, full squads
England and India will go head-to-head in the final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar series, starting from Thursday at the Oval in London. India's resolute batting in the second innings at Manchester, which led to a draw, offered the Shubman Gill-led side an opportunity to level the five-match series, which England currently leads 2-1. With England captain Ben Stokes and pace menace Jofra Archer ruled out of the series finale, India will fancy its chances against a depleted team. Meanwhile, India will face a selection dilemma after Shardul Thakur proved to be ineffective with the ball in the last Test. It will be interesting to see if left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav is handed a match, or left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh a maiden Test cap. Moreover, with Gill indicating that Jasprit Bumrah is still in contention for a spot in the final Test, how India's Playing XI eventually shapes up at the Oval will be intriguing.

England's Hypocrisy Exposed? Oval Curator, Coach Brendon McCullum Stand Next To The Pitch Day After Gambhir Row
India head coach Gautam Gambhir 's heated altercation with Surrey pitch curator Lee Fortis on Tuesday sparked a major controversy, ahead of the fifth and final Test at The Oval, starting July 31. Fortis spoke rudely to Gambhir's support staff for standing close to the pitch, triggering a strong response from the Indian head coach. According to India's batting coach, Shitanshu Kotak, the curator insisted they remain at least 2.5 metres away from the deck. Gambhir blasted Fortis after the same, saying: "You can't tell us what do" A day after his clash with Gambhir, Fortis has now come under the scanner once again. In a viral picture, Fortis was seen standing close to the pitch, alongside England head coach Brendon McCullum and home team skipper Ben Stokes. Wednesday's open access pitch inspection was in complete contrast to events from the previous day, where the Indian team was denied access to the same. Interestingly, Fortis has been accused of being hostile to visiting teams in the past. According to rumours, he had a similar heated incident with the Indian Women's cricket team when they played the 3rd T20I against England Women at The Oval earlier this month. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak had to step in to defuse the situation, escorting Fortis away while Gambhir continued to argue from a distance. The incident, captured on video, quickly went viral on social media, adding to the tension surrounding the Test series finale. India, trailing 1-2 in the five-match series, arrived in London just a day earlier after a gutsy draw in Manchester. The team was welcomed at a reception hosted by the Indian High Commission, where Gambhir delivered a passionate speech reflecting on the series. The heated exchange is the latest flashpoint in a series filled with emotional flare-ups - from Shubman Gill 's displeasure at England's delayed re-entry at the Lord's, to the standoff at Old Trafford where Ben Stokes and his team bristled after Indian batters refused an early handshake, prioritising their centuries instead. With the series on the line and tempers already flaring, the final Test at The Oval, starting on Thursday, promises to be a charged affair both on and off the field.
