In September 2025, the story of Amanjot Kaur, an Indian all-rounder, and her grandmother, Bhagwanti, continues to inspire. The journey began in a neighborhood park in Mohali, where Amanjot used to play gully cricket with the local boys. Initially, neighbors tried to discourage Bhupinder Singh, Amanjot's father, from allowing his daughter to play. However, Bhagwanti, Amanjot's grandmother, took matters into her own hands.
Whenever Amanjot went to the park to play, Bhagwanti accompanied her and sat on the bench, watching over her granddaughter to ensure no one would complain. This unwavering support from her grandmother allowed Amanjot to pursue her cricketing dreams, which have now culminated in her T20I debut for India two years ago. During that match, Bhagwanti kept a close eye on Amanjot, asking the family to point her out on the screen.
Today, as Amanjot stands on the verge of realizing her dream of playing in a World Cup, the bond between her and Bhagwanti remains as strong as ever. The grandmother's presence and support have been a constant source of strength, guiding Amanjot's journey from the neighborhood park to the international stage.
