  • Revealing the grit behind @IndianWomensCricket Star Opener, Vice Captain, and Women's Premier League Winning ‪@royalchallengersbengaluruYT‬ – Smriti Mandhana. Growing up in a small town can make one feel like an outsider in the city, but Smriti’s and her fans’ shared love for cricket—nothing short of a religion in India—transcends boundaries of origin and identity, helping her connect with millions across the globe. This also means she carries the emotions and expectations of a nation. Sharing her insights on batting away gender stereotypes, facing skeptical relatives, and carving her niche in a male-dominated sport, each anecdote hit sixers at the googly questions thrown, revealing her commitment towards cricket and the secret behind her trademark on-field smile. Ever the sport, it offered a rare glimpse into the person behind the popular player. But in a game where success is celebrated and failures are magnified, how does she keep her composure on and off the field, and her eye on the prize? The goal is clear—to excel, to win, to inspire. In this exclusive episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, Smriti opens up to ‪@SustainableTeaWithShreya‬ about finding her purpose in sport, her love for cricket, evolution into the spotlight, facing large crowds, internal drive to win for India, World Cup aspirations, Women’s Premier League and leading ‪@royalchallengersbengaluruYT‬ as Captain, dealing with fame, routine and practice sessions, and managing criticism with the constant support of her family.
