Sania Mirza, PV Sindhu Say Belief And Support Can Make The Difference For Upcoming Female Sportspersons

By IANS News August 07, 2025 • 09:21 AM View: 120

When the Indian women's cricket team participated in the World Cup in 1997 at home, they got Rs 1000 as match fee for each match. Things have come a long way from those dark ages to 2025, when in the Women's Premier League (WPL) mini-auction, Simran Shaikh got a bid of Rs 1.90 crore, and the 16-year-old G Kamalini went for Rs 1.60 crore.

The media has started taking attention, and the broadcasters are also showing women-only sports even amidst top-level men's competition -- like in the case of WPL 2025 in the middle of the men's Champions Trophy.
