Sports Culture Includes Everyone, And Women's Sport Is A Massive Part Of It, Says Virat Kohli
The last 10 years have seen athletes like Manu Bhaker, P.V. Sindhu, Mirabai Chanu, and Lovlina Borgohain clinch medals for India at the Olympics and give a big boost to women’s sports in the country. In terms of cricket, India's women’s team reaching the 2017 ODI World Cup final in England brought women’s cricket into the limelight. “They were their own catalysts and kind of put the attention onto them. I literally saw it happening in a time span of 6-7 years. The way they started playing, you could see that belief, and then people started engaging in that a lot.”
“And eventually it got to a place where, you know, the commercials became better, money was being infused into the women's game, and then you have the WPL,” said Kohli at the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit on Saturday.
