Indian Women Cricket from ₹8000 to 40cr

First time Indian women team reached the final of the World cup was in 2005, under the captaincy of Mithali Raj. At that time Women cricket was not under BCCI, and women cricket were just paid ₹1000 for each match they played in that WC. There was no match fees, no annual contract, no sponsors nothing! Can you even imagine ?? And just because they reached the final they were happy that they would get atleast ₹2000 extra for SF and Final. No support from the govt or sponsorship at all.

Today Indian women cricket have the match fees same as Men’s. Besides, this WC win will give them the highest Prize money (₹ 40 Cr) in the history of Cricket World Cup (including Men & Women’s WC)

What an incredible journey!!
