Free Hit by Suprita Das
Suprita Das, author Free Hit , ‘Free Hit dives deep into the lives of a spirited bunch of Indian women cricketers who fought hard for their right to play, overcame sponsorship challenges, corrected gender-based pay gaps and tackled the sheer indifference of cricket administrators along the way. It’s a story that puts the spotlight on their struggles, victories and adventures in promoting the game and reminds us that they too – like the men’s team – brought home laurels worth celebrating.’
