WOMEN CRICKET The Story of Women's Cricket in India

By Suprita Das

Free Hit narrates, in telling details, how after its origins in the 1960s and '70s, women's cricket in India got here and what took it so long. It dives deep into the lives of a spirited bunch of women who fought hard for their right to play, overcame sponsorship challenges, corrected gender-based pay gaps and tackled the sheer indifference of cricket administrators along the way. It's a story that puts the spotlight on the struggles, victories and adventures in promoting the game and reminds us that they too - like the men's team - brought home laurels worth celebrating.
