Book Review
The book “Her Story, Her Glory: The Making of Women’s Cricket in India” by Aditya Bhushan traces the underexplored journey of women’s cricket in India, from its colonial-era beginnings to its current prominence on the global stage. This history is marked by perseverance, as pioneers like Shantha Rangaswamy and Diana Edulji laid the foundation for the sport against societal norms and limited support.
Beginning with informal mixed-gender matches in the late 19th century, women’s cricket faced many hurdles, including ridicule and inadequate resources. The establishment of women’s cricket associations in the 1970s marked a turning point, leading to increased organization and recognition. Key milestones included India hosting and reaching finals in major tournaments, showcasing remarkable talent and resilience through standout performances, such as Jemimah Ranjan’s and Shafali Verma’s.
