Fresh off India’s historic Women’s World Cup 2025 victory, captain Harmanpreet Kaur has immortalized the moment — quite literally. The cricket star revealed a new tattoo on her upper left arm, celebrating India’s 52-run win that ended a 52-year wait for World Cup glory.
Harmanpreet shared the photos on Instagram, writing:
“Forever etched in my skin and my heart. Waited for you since day one — now I’ll see you every morning and be grateful.”
A Tattoo that Tells a Story
The tattoo, created by Aliens Tattoo, features the World Cup trophy, the year 2025, and the number 52, representing India’s victory margin and the long gap since India’s 1983 men’s World Cup triumph.
Sunny Bhanushali, founder of Aliens Tattoo, said in a statement:
“Honoured to be part of this historic moment. This design goes beyond ink — it’s a story of victory, resilience, and national pride. Harmanpreet’s tattoo captures the spirit of leadership and the emotion of a dream fulfilled.”
Behind the Scenes: A 2 AM Celebration
The tattoo studio shared that Harmanpreet Kaur, along with Smriti Mandhana and Harleen Deol, walked into the Mumbai studio at 2 AM after returning from the final match.
In an Instagram post, Aliens Tattoo wrote:
“Our winning champions walked in just hours after leading India to its first-ever Women’s World Cup title. They wanted the memory inked forever — the Championship Trophy, the year 2025, and the number 52, symbolizing faith, leadership, and the triumph of a 52-year dream.”
Photos shared by the studio show the players smiling as artists worked on their designs, capturing a moment that united emotion, art, and athletic triumph.
What the Tattoo Symbolizes
According to Aliens Tattoo’s creative team, Harmanpreet’s design was conceptualized in collaboration with the players and represents:
-
Resilience — the mental strength to rise after early tournament setbacks.
-
Belief — the conviction that drove India’s comeback victories.
-
National Pride — the spirit that inspired millions of fans.
The number 52 serves as a dual tribute: India’s 52-run victory over South Africa in the final and 52 years since the men’s team’s first World Cup win in 1983.
A Victory that Redefined Women’s Cricket
On November 2, 2025, India’s women in blue made history by defeating South Africa by 52 runs, lifting their first-ever Women’s World Cup trophy. The win echoed India’s legendary 1983 triumph under Kapil Dev, symbolizing a new chapter in Indian cricket.

Within hours of posting, Harmanpreet’s Instagram photos went viral, with fans and celebrities flooding the comments with love and admiration.
One user wrote, “You deserve every bit of this moment, captain!” while another commented, “The 52 will go down in history.”
The post also drew praise from Smriti Mandhana, who commented with heart emojis and fire symbols, hinting at her own tattoo from the same session.
For Harmanpreet Kaur, this tattoo is more than body art — it’s a permanent celebration of perseverance and purpose.
As India revels in its monumental win, the captain’s inked tribute stands as a reminder that dreams pursued with passion can truly be etched forever — both on the skin and in the nation’s heart.
