My auto's backseat has a sticker of Mithali Raj from 2017 World Cup — the day she scored 69 against England, my mother watched from the hospital bed and forgot her pain for two hours. Since then, I’ve seen the same old arguments: "women’s cricket doesn’t sell tickets" — bhai, have you seen the empty stands at men's Ranji matches?

That sticker story — bas, it's the same as my girls learning to stitch on a borrowed machine, laughing when the thread knots. Committees will talk and talk, but the real progress is when the girl with the broken bat is already playing, sab theek.
