This has been all over social media today. What a journey this man has made!

The next man in after Sachin and Kambli, A leading run scorer in Ranji but never got a cap, and then finally achieved success on the international level by coaching the Women Cricketers to victory.

He has given great service to Indian cricket.

Also his Guru was Ramakant Acharekar Sir

Congrats to India womens team.

This is a big achievement and it shows cricket is now at a different level in India.

Developed countries have better women athletes because of better food and early access to sports. So beating them is very very very difficult. But with India beating them it shows India must be doing some good amount of work in women sports.

Happy for this women team, and i hope they inspire many girls of India and parents aswell to take up sports. These women will be idolized and become role models for many. Good for them, a great achievement.

Eng, Aus, NZ have good weather, therefore their players are more athletic. India have weakest muscle power index in the world. Even Srilanka is higher in muscle power index than India

Amol waited for 2 days padded up when Sachin & Kambli were having their 665 run partnership.

Couldn't play for India even after scoring big runs in domestic cricket. The arrivals of Ganguly, Dravid & Laxman at the same time hampered his chances to play for India, destiny has rewarded him with this glory. Will be remembered forever for being the coach of Indian women's first victory in Women's World Cup.

Some dirty, rotten pieces of garbage on X are targetting Jemimah Rodrigues because she 'dared' to thank Lord Jesus for her performance. Such scoundrels should be beaten up and paraded naked in the public.​

The worst bit is that X takes no action against those accounts.​

In the 9 or 10 T20 WC events hosted, IND has 0 titles in that format. All of them were dominated and won by Aus, even though looks like even WI-W have a title as well.

You said SENA teams. Australia alone then yes that's a bridge too far. But whatever the metric, there's really no justification for putting all desi women in the same category

Today Maharashtra government honoured 3 Maharashtrian cricket players Smriti Mandhana, Jemmie Rodrigues and Radha Yadav and they also awarded prize money of INR 2.13 crores each i.e. 7.13 crores PKR.

Not sure how it is calculated. But this world cup did generate interest specially the knockout games. The games were competitive.

Right! The campaign was good. It didn't feel like forced but rather organic. Maybe people have started to look at women's cricket not as a female version of men's cricket but as a sperate sports altogether and that's the way it should be.

I think bilaterals will still not generate viewership but WPL and other women's international events will certainly generate interest from now on

Star value is important for crowd attraction. Back then there were no stars. Nowadays people go there to watch stars like Mandhana. Chennai Test match between India and SA had decent sized crowd.
