Women In Blue : Sixteen Warriors, One World Cup Dream – Suprita Das

Description

In 2025, the Indian women’s cricket team won the World Cup. This illustrated book tells the stories of sixteen of the players behind that triumph — including Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma — many of whom grew up in small towns with very few resources.

Full of personal stories rather than statistics — like the girl who disguised herself as her brother to play, and the future world champion who first learned the game with sticks and potatoes — it’s an inspiring read for children aged 9 and up. By award-winning sports journalist Suprita Das, author of Free Hit: The Story of Women’s Cricket in India.
