In this episode, Karthik speaks with Snehal Pradhan - former Indian cricketer about the extraordinary imbalance between the men's and women's game in India. Snehal speaks about how it was to become a professional cricketer in a setup that is mostly unorganized for girls and women. She talks about her early life playing cricket with the boys at school, in an almost non-existent domestic circuit, and then eventually playing for the country. They discuss the governance of women's cricket in India first under the WCAI (Women's cricket association of India) and then under the BCCI (Board of control for cricket in India). Snehal and Karthik also speak about the inexplicable delay in launching the Women's IPL in India and how the pandemic has been a bigger blow for Women's cricket than the men's IPL this year. Snehal also speaks about life post-retirement as a broadcaster, writer, and YouTube creator under the channel 'Cricket with Snehal'.
