While this is a positive step, I wish the BCCI and mainstream sports media would give this series even a fraction of the coverage they give to the IPL. These athletes' dedication deserves more spotlight and recognition from the top.

As someone who has worked with disability advocacy, this is incredibly inspiring. The mention of an ISL interpreter is crucial - accessibility in sports communication is so important. Kudos to IDCA and the sponsors for backing this.
