00:00What's your name?

00:01My name is Kavya Adam.

00:03Kavya, I've seen you here playing.

00:05Why did you choose cricket only? Why not any other sport?

00:09It makes me feel free and it's like something I love a lot.

00:16This recent win for Indian women cricket team, this is not just about the trophy,

00:20but also about the change in perception about women's sports in India.

00:24Have you had any challenges in your life when you asked your parents

00:28that this is the sport that I want to get into?

00:30Not my parents, but there are my grandparents who always try to convince my parents

00:37that I shouldn't play cricket, it's not meant for women or something.

00:42But now, India has won, so it has proved that girls are meant to be cricketers also.

00:52Have you talked to your grandparents after the massive win by Indian women cricket team?

00:57Yeah, they didn't say anything that they said that you should go in sports also,

01:03but you should have a backup plan also.

01:30and I know I will get something in my life from this.

01:35But there are some stereotypical people who think that women are a little weak or something,

01:43which makes them think that we should have a backup plan.

01:47How do you plan to break the barriers, break this stereotypicalness?

01:51Proving them by winning like just the women did recently.

02:04increasing the prize money as we saw in the last winning match,

02:12that we, the women got 40 crores and the men get 33 crores or something.

02:25and what I, what I'm doing at the club is doing,

02:27I am very proud of and so what is going on now.

02:29I am happy to work toward the club,
