ICC chief paid respect to Harmanpreet
In Indian culture, it is a tradition to seek the blessings of one’s elders by touching their feet. Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur tried to do the same while receiving the trophy, but Jaya, knowing that daughters are considered goddesses in Indian culture, are worshipped, and her feet are touched. He stopped Harmanpreet from doing so and bowed to show respect to India’s champion daughter.
