Sleepless night to bhangra in morning, celebrations erupt at Amanjot’s home

Sweets, crackers, cheers and Bhangra were the norm at all-rounder Amanjot Kaur’s house in Phase 5 after India’s ICC ODI World Cup win.

The house was abuzz with activity as visitors poured in to congratulate the family. The cricketer’s father Bhupinder Singh and mother Ranjeet Kaur said they had a sleepless night after India beat South Africa by 52 runs in the summit clash to lift the trophy at Navi Mumbai.

Early in the morning, boys dressed in colourful attire carrying traditional musical instruments knocked on the doors. As they began playing music, family members, including the cricketer’s aunts Charanjit Kaur and Harwinder Kaur, joined the Bhangra dance.

Amanjot’s sister Kamaljot Kaur said, “We had a very brief chat with her last night as she was busy with celebrations. She was very happy and emotional. The family shared happiness for a short while as everybody was so emotional. Years of hard work has finally paid off.”

The family said they were eagerly awaiting Amanjot’s arrival in a week. Her mother, Ranjeet Kaur, said Amanjot has been an all-rounder not just in cricket but in every sphere of life. “Cooking, household work, studies, going out, she loves to do everything and takes keen interest. She doesn’t eat sweets but I’ll make her favorite rajmah-chawal,” she further added.
