\"IndianNew Delhi:<\/strong> Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar believes Indian women\u2019s cricket is standing at the doorstep of a defining era, one that could inspire generations just as the men\u2019s World Cup victory of 1983 did for him as a child.<\/p>\n

Writing in his column for the International Cricket Council (ICC),<\/strong> Tendulkar recalled how, as a 10-year-old, he was spellbound by Kapil Dev\u2019s men lifting the trophy at Lord\u2019s. He spoke of Mohinder Amarnath\u2019s heroics, Kapil\u2019s unbeaten 175 against Zimbabwe, and how those stories shaped his own dream of donning the India jersey.<\/p>\n

Now, Tendulkar says, the upcoming ICC Women\u2019s World Cup could spark the same fire in countless young girls across India. \u201cSomewhere in Moga, a teenager may be clutching her bat tighter, wanting to be like Harmanpreet Kaur. In Sangli, another girl may be perfecting her drives, dreaming of becoming the next Smriti Mandhana,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The maestro praised Harmanpreet\u2019s iconic 171 against Australia in 2017, calling it a turning point that brought women\u2019s cricket into the limelight. He also hailed Smriti Mandhana as a symbol of modern India\u2019s confidence, noting her effortless timing and her record-breaking 50-ball century against Australia.<\/p>\n

But Tendulkar stressed that this World Cup is bigger than any one player. It represents a movement to break barriers and ensure that every girl with a bat in hand knows the sport welcomes her.<\/p>\n

He credited the Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah for bringing transformative changes, from equal match fees to professional opportunities, giving women players the respect and support they long deserved. Tendulkar also lauded the ICC\u2019s decision to announce record prize money for this tournament, even greater than that of the men\u2019s World Cup in 2023, calling it a powerful signal of equality.<\/p>\n

As India\u2019s women prepare for the global stage, Tendulkar believes they carry not only the nation\u2019s hopes but also the power to redefine the game. \u201cJust as 1983 gave Indian cricket a new identity, this World Cup can do the same for women\u2019s cricket in India,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

And, echoing his own childhood, Tendulkar imagined a young girl watching the tournament today who may one day say: that was the day my journey began.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
