Speaking about the win, Nita M. Ambani said, as quoted by Reliance Foundation, “I had full confidence in my girls. They are unstoppable. We had spoken about fighting till the last ball and not giving up, and that is what we did. Nat has been fantastic throughout the season; her three wickets were fantastic. And the batting by our captain, Harman- it was just outstanding! We always credit our support staff. If you look at our dugout, there was never a quiet moment. To win two titles in 3 years is quite difficult –but as I said, my girls are unstoppable.”
Nita Ambani also highlighted the importance of empowering women, saying,
“Why just my girls? When you support any girl, encourage them and empower them, you’ll see what they can deliver. I’m a proud owner of Mumbai Indians today–it means a lot. I am committed to empowering young girls through sport because education and sport go hand in hand,” she added.
