Amanjot Kaur hits back at false reports on grandmother's health — 'My 90s kid is absolutely fine'

Amanjot Kaur has dismissed rumours about her grandmother’s health, calling out fake news circulating online. The India all-rounder clarified that her “90s kid” is doing absolutely fine and urged people to stop spreading misinformation.

The all-rounder shared a post on Instagram with a photo of her grandparents, writing: “Heyy, just wanted to share that my grandmother is doing well and in good health. Please don’t believe or spread false information circulating online. Thank you to everyone who’s reached out with care and concern,” Amanjot wrote.


“My 90s kid is doing absolutely fine,” she added.


Amanjot played a pivotal role in India’s historic first Women’s World Cup triumph. On Sunday night, under the bright floodlights and before 40,000 roaring fans at DY Patil Stadium, Amanjot produced a moment of brilliance in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup final. South African skipper Laura Wolvaardt, playing a magnificent 101, seemed to be single-handedly guiding her team to victory when she pulled one towards deep mid-wicket — only to find Amanjot sprinting in and holding on after a tense, three-attempt juggle.

The crowd erupted as teammates rushed to embrace her, the tension melting into jubilation. That catch sealed the feeling — this was India’s night, and nothing was going to derail it.

“Oh my God, it was the toughest catch of my life. I’ve never fumbled while taking a catch before. Either I catch the ball or drop it — there’s nothing in between! For the first time, God gave me three opportunities. It was a crucial catch, and we knew she would attack after completing her century and try to take charge from one end,” a smiling Amanjot told reporters in the Mixed Media Zone after her catch sealed India’s World Cup triumph.

A gun fielder, Amanjot contributed significantly to India’s World Cup win, also effecting a crucial run out of Tazmin Brits to break South Africa’s opening partnership. “The wicket was playing better when they were batting. We knew that breaking partnerships was the key. It’s not easy to field under lights with the dew. We tried hard — there were a few lapses from us in the field — but God wanted us to win,” she said.
