Скачать или смотреть ₹10,000 to play for India: The Sacrifices That Built Women’s Cricket

Story Written by Debjit Lahiri - https://www.instagram.com/forgottencr...

Long before packed stadiums, central contracts, and prime-time broadcasts, Indian women cricketers were paying out of their own pockets just to represent the country. In the 1980s, players had to contribute nearly ₹10,000 each to take part in a World Cup — a staggering sacrifice at the time, made purely for the love of the game.

This video looks back at the forgotten pioneers of Indian women’s cricket, the players who trained without facilities, funding, or recognition, and still chose to push forward. Their struggles laid the foundation for today’s generation to thrive, be seen, and be rewarded.

From personal sacrifice to national progress, this is the story of how women’s cricket in India was built — one unpaid tour, one self-funded World Cup, and one act of belief at a time.
