Why Amanjot Kaur’s Catch Could Reshape indian cricket economics Forever.”
The catch everyone’s celebrating might just trigger a ₹500 crore shift in how cricket is marketed, funded, and consumed in India.
When Amanjot Kaur caught that final ball, she may have also caught the attention of every sports brand, broadcaster, and investor in India.
Because this wasn’t just a sporting win — it was a market signal.
For decades, women’s cricket has lived in the shadow of men’s sponsorships. Even after moments of brilliance — 2005, 2017, Commonwealth 2022 — brands treated it like a “CSR cause,” not a commercial asset.
But this world cup changes everything.
Think about it: india beat australia — the team that practically owns the women’s game — in a record chase of 339. Then dominated south africa in the final.
The metrics are insane: highest chase, most runs, highest wickets, record viewership spikes — all without the “superstar machinery” that men’s cricket enjoys.
Smriti Mandhana finished with 434 runs. Deepti Sharma took the most wickets. Harmanpreet led with ice-cold consistency.
And Amanjot’s catch? That image will be replayed for years — the “Kapil Dev moment” of women’s cricket.
Here’s where it gets interesting:
Brands follow eyeballs, and eyeballs follow emotion. Yesterday, india didn’t just watch a match — they felt it.
Social media exploded with engagement levels equal to the men’s t20 world cup final.
TV ratings are expected to cross ₹250 crore in ad value.
And when emotions meet economics, markets shift.
In 2023, the Women’s Premier League (WPL) fetched ₹1,200 crore in franchise value. Analysts predict this world cup could double that valuation before the next season — if marketed right.
Smriti and Harmanpreet are about to become brand archetypes: not “female versions” of Virat and Rohit, but standalone icons.
Cricket boards will need to renegotiate pay parity. Broadcasters will rethink prime-time slots. Even schools and academies will now justify investing in girls’ cricket as a viable career, not a hobby.
So yes, Amanjot’s catch turned the match.
But more importantly — it flipped the economics of indian cricket.
Not since 1983 has a single sporting moment carried this much commercial consequence.
And for once, that’s the real victory — not just the trophy.
