Virat Kohli expressed his views on the shift in perception of how people view women and girls in sports in India, saying that women\u2019s sport is a massive part of the sporting culture catering to everyone in the country.<\/p>\n

The last 10 years have seen athletes like Manu Bhaker, P.V. Sindhu, Mirabai Chanu, and Lovlina Borgohain clinch medals for India at the Olympics and give a big boost to women\u2019s sports in the country.<\/p>\n

In terms of cricket, India’s women\u2019s team reaching the 2017 ODI World Cup final in England brought women\u2019s cricket into the limelight. \u201cThey were their own catalysts and kind of put the attention onto them. I literally saw it happening in a time span of 6-7 years. The way they started playing, you could see that belief, and then people started engaging in that a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd eventually it got to a place where, you know, the commercials became better, money was being infused into the women’s game, and then you have the WPL,\u201d said Kohli at the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The growth of women\u2019s cricket in India has also been fueled by the U19 team winning back-to-back global titles and the advent of the Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL), whose final will be played between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Kohli further said women\u2019s sports in India require more backing and infrastructural development so that they continue to be on the right path.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at men for the improvement of sport in any country, it has to be a collective. Sports culture includes everyone, and women’s sport is a massive part of it, and we have so much data in women’s sports, not just cricket but all the others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are creating individual activities over the year in tennis, badminton, wrestling, boxing. So, I think it’s definitely heading in the right direction, and it needs more backing and more and more infrastructure to be developed,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
