Book Review
Cricket is more than just a sport in India—it is a feeling that brings people together. From children playing in the streets to families cheering in front of the television, cricket has always been a big part of everyday life. While men’s cricket has been in the spotlight for many years, women’s cricket has grown slowly through hard work, talent, and determination. “Miracle Women” tells the story of that inspiring journey. It celebrates India’s historic ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup victory in 2025 while paying tribute to the women who made this dream come true. The book also shows how pioneers like Mithali Raj, Jhulan Goswami, Diana Edulji, and many others created the path for stars such as Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and the new generation of champions.
Swayam Ganguly takes readers through the complete story of Indian women’s cricket, from its difficult early days to its biggest moment on the world stage. The book talks about the struggles, sacrifices, disappointments, and successes that shaped the team over the years. It also shares many fun and surprising facts, like Harmanpreet Kaur’s huge six that was so powerful her bat was sent for laboratory testing, Jemimah Rodrigues’ journey from national-level hockey to international cricket, and Diana Edulji becoming the first Indian woman cricketer to enter the ICC Hall of Fame. These stories make the book enjoyable as well as informative.
Written in a simple and easy-to-read style, “Miracle Women” is much more than a book about winning a World Cup. It is a celebration of courage, hard work, and never giving up. It reminds readers that every big achievement comes after years of struggle and belief. Inspiring, emotional, and full of memorable stories, this is a book that every cricket fan—and anyone who enjoys real-life stories of determination—should read.
