India Marks 50 Years Since First Women's Test Cricket Match
Fifty years ago, India played its first official women's Test cricket match against the West Indies at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, marking a significant milestone. Players like Shubhangi Kulkarni and Shantha Rangaswamy made notable contributions despite limited resources and facilities. Since then, women's cricket in India has evolved substantially, with modern players benefiting from professional contracts and the Women's Premier League, reflecting growth from humble beginnings to increased recognition and investment.
