In India, cricket is a game which people like very much and now even girls have started playing cricket. However, the society has still not accepted girls playing cricket. People believe that the game of cricket is not for girls but there are some players of our country who have proved this wrong. The first name in this list is Smriti Mandhana.

It was not easy for Smriti to become a cricketer and she had to face many difficulties to reach here. In an interview, Smriti had told that people used to taunt her parents that if she continued playing cricket, then no one would marry her.

She used to stand behind the net and watch it and it was from here that she started playing cricket.

Had to practice with boys

parents’ thinking

On this matter, Amitabh Bachchan also praised Smriti’s parents and said that these are modern thoughts where parents do not consider their daughters less than sons and give them equal sky and opportunity to fly. Women should also get equal opportunities as men.

parents’ dream

Like Smriti’s parents, many parents want their children to fulfill their unfulfilled dreams. However, not every child has the same memory and interest as his/her parents. he/she wants to do something different and in this situation the child should not be forced.
