Great to see our women cricketers getting this recognition abroad! But BCCI should give them equal pay and facilities like men's team. They work just as hard if not harder. #EqualPayForWomenCricket

While the event is commendable, I wish our media gave women's cricket half the coverage they give to men's IPL. These athletes deserve consistent spotlight, not just occasional celebrations.

My 10-year-old daughter now wants to be a cricketer after watching Smriti Mandhana bat! 🏏 This is the real impact - changing mindsets one girl at a time. Thank you team India for showing what's possible!
