Now, Smriti is seen in public for the first time after her marriage. At the Amazon Opportunity Summit, Smriti said,

I have always been a very simple person, never overcomplicated my life. I think one thing is that if you do a lot of work behind the scenes, everyone sees and evaluates what happens on the field, but I evaluate myself or the team based on the work I do behind the scenes. Whether I feel good or bad about things, whatever it is, I’m really proud of working on it day in and day out.

I think if you do that, when you go out to bat you have a lot of confidence in what’s going to happen. It should be noted that on 2 November 2025, Indian women’s team won the ODI World Cup for the first time by defeating South Africa. Reminiscing about this victory, Mandhana said, I love nothing more than cricket. Wearing the Indian jersey is my biggest inspiration. Since my childhood, I have dreamed of being recognized as a “World Champion”.
