Her Story, Her Glory: The Making of Women’s Cricket in India

For far too long, the story of cricket in India has been told mainly through the achievements of men, while the journey of women’s cricket has remained under-explored despite its courage, depth and significance. This book seeks to redress that silence by tracing the remarkable rise of women’s cricket in India, from its little-known beginnings in colonial-era exhibition matches to its emergence as a serious sporting movement in the 1970s, and finally to its present stature on the world stage. Through lively anecdotes, forgotten episodes and vivid profiles, Her Story, Her Glory brings to life the struggles and triumphs of the pioneers who built the game against great odds, often in the face of ridicule, neglect and limited support.
