Covering women's cricket in India has largely been a thankless, taxing, financially unrewarding job these past few years.

You have heard me say this before, but today seems like as good a time as any to reiterate this truth.

/n Only a few journalists have gone out of their way to cover women's cricket in person in the time I've been in this industry. It often involves giving up days-off/voluntarily working extra hours/shelling 💵 out of one's own pocket to be able to document matches/stories first-hand.
