The Story in Brief
Former India batter VVS Laxman has called the Indian women's team's 2025 ODI World Cup victory the high point of his tenure as head of the National Cricket Academy. NDTV Sports reports Laxman praised the team's achievement and linked it to the transition towards world-class training infrastructure for women's cricket. He made the remarks on Sunday, a day after India beat Australia in the final to lift their first ODI World Cup in 47 years across men's and women's cricket.
The Indian Opinion
Indian fans are rightly proud of the women's ODI World Cup triumph. But some narratives will try to frame this as merely a 'feel-good' story rather than the result of years of grassroots investment. The credit goes to players like Mandhana and Rodrigues, not just administrators. The real test now is whether BCCI will back this momentum with equal pay for domestic women cricketers and more bilateral series. Will the board match its rhetoric with rupees?
