₹1000 Per Match?! Mithali Raj EXPOSES Women’s Cricket Pay History!
Can you believe what Indian women cricketers were paid before the BCCI stepped in? Amidst the euphoria of the Indian Women’s Cricket team’s historic 2025 World Cup victory, former captain Mithali Raj made a truly shocking revelation. She exposed the meager pay structure, or lack thereof, before the Board of Control for Cricket in India implemented contracts. Incredibly, players received a mere Rs. 1000 per match even after being 2005 World Cup runners-up. There was virtually no money in the sport, highlighting a long struggle for recognition and fair compensation. However, a turning point arrived in October 2022 when the BCCI boldly introduced pay parity, equating women cricketers’ fees with their male counterparts. This pivotal decision, initially met with criticism, was definitively validated by the team’s triumphant World Cup win. They silenced haters and repaid the faith shown in them, showcasing resilience and immense talent. What do you make of this incredible journey and the fight for equal pay in sports?
