Outlook Magazine - No More A Gentleman’s Game - 11 February 2026 Issue

On summer evenings across India, the sound of a cricket ball striking a bat no longer belongs only to boys in dusty maidans.The rise of women cricketers in India is not just a sporting phenomenon, it is a social shift, unfolding one boundary at a time. Over the past decade, Indian women cricketers have transformed from overlooked participants in a male-dominated game into global sporting icons. Behind the medals, match fees & match-winning knocks lie deeply personal stories of resistance, resilience & resolve. What makes their rise remarkable is not just their talent, but the courage it took to dream professionally in spaces that were never designed for them. Cricket became both an act of passion and protest. Outlook’s next edition, No More A Gentlemen’s Game, explores their journeys of Indian women cricketers, their humble beginnings, not so easy opportunities and their future outlook towards achieving success.
