Amol Muzumdar Joins Elite List Of Coaches Winning ICC Trophies For Team India; Check Out Details
Amol Muzumdar has etched his name into Indian cricket history by becoming one of the rare coaches to lead a Team India side to an ICC tournament triumph. With India’s women securing their maiden ICC Women’s World Cup title in 2025, Muzumdar joins an elite list of coaches whose guidance has delivered trophies on the global stage.
Over the decades, only a select few coaches have guided India to ICC glory. The legendary P.R. Man Singh led India to the historic 1983 Men’s World Cup victory, while John Wright masterminded the 2002 Champions Trophy success. Lalchand Rajput guided the men to the inaugural T20 World Cup title in 2007, and Gary Kirsten’s coaching brilliance brought India the 2011 Men’s World Cup. Duncan Fletcher oversaw the 2013 Champions Trophy triumph, and more recently, Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir added T20 and Champions Trophy titles respectively in 2024 and 2025.
Amol Muzumdar now stands out as the first women’s team coach to achieve such a feat, highlighting the growing stature and success of Indian women’s cricket on the global stage. While all previous trophy-winning coaches had been at the helm of the men’s team, Muzumdar’s success underscores the evolution, professionalism, and rising prominence of the women’s game in India.
His achievement not only celebrates the team’s historic World Cup victory but also cements Muzumdar’s legacy as a coach capable of inspiring excellence, strategy, and resilience in Indian cricket. As the women’s game continues to grow, Muzumdar’s name will be remembered alongside the men’s coaching legends who have brought India ICC glory.
