During the photo session, PM Modi made a classy gesture by not touching the trophy. It was held by the team's leadership duo, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana.

The PM's gesture would remind one of the time when the Indian Men's team visited him at his residence. Instead of holding the T20 World Cup title, he held the hands of Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid's hands during the photo session.

PM Modi continues to win hearts with his ardent support of the Indian cricket team.
