The growth of Women’s cricket in the 21st century ft. Anjum Chopra | Cricket

About this episode

Anjum Chopra discusses the evolution of women's cricket in India over the past 25 years.

Just a few months away from the Women’s 50-over World Cup at home, Team India has made a strong impression under Harmanpreet Kaur by winning a T20I and ODI series in England. The success of this team in the past few years is built on the groundwork laid by several generations of women cricketers who played the game for passion. Former team India Captain Anjum Chopra, whose 17-year long career for India began in 1995, tells us what all has changed in Indian women’s cricket in the past 25 years to bring it where it stands today in this special episode of A Century of Stories: Cricket podcast presented by IDFC FIRST Bank.
