India’s women’s cricket team created history by winning the Women’s One Day World Cup for the first time, filling the entire nation with pride. In a thrilling final match held at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai, the Indian team defeated South Africa, etching their names in golden letters in cricket history. The stadium erupted with cheers as fans celebrated this unforgettable victory across the country.
Amid the celebrations, the spotlight also fell on Smriti Mandhana, who won millions of hearts with her brilliant performance throughout the tournament. But what caught everyone’s attention post-match was a touching gesture by her boyfriend — filmmaker and music director Palash Muchhal.
Palash took to social media to share a few photos from the post-match celebration, congratulating Smriti and expressing his pride. One photo showed him holding the World Cup trophy, with Smriti smiling brightly in the background. But it was Palash’s tattoo that stole the show.
On his forearm, he sported a simple yet meaningful tattoo — a solid grey circle with “SM18” written inside. The “SM” stands for Smriti Mandhana, while “18” represents her jersey number.
Fans flooded the comments section, praising Palash for his heartfelt tribute.
One fan wrote, “OMG, the tattoo!” while another commented, “Men hyping their women is the best genre.”
Others added, “SM18… that stole my heart,” and “The tattoo, the man, and the trophy — she got everything!”
Palash’s thoughtful gesture quickly went viral, symbolizing not just love, but admiration and pride for India’s star batter who helped script a golden chapter in women’s cricket history.
