Amol Muzumdar is a domestic cricket legend for Mumbai. He amassed 11,167 runs across 260 innings in First-Class cricket. Following his retirement, he worked alongside India's Under-19 and Under-23 teams as a batting coach.

He also served as the batting coach of the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 50-year-old was named India women's team's new head coach in October 2023.

The cricketer-turned-coach played a pivotal role in India winning their first-ever Women's World Cup title. In a touching gesture, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur touched Muzumdar's feet after India's victory in the final.

And we write our own story. No more stories from the outside, we write our own story. You will write your own story tonight. Let's stay in that bubble for the next seven hours. Let's create history."
