Cricket is not gender biased. It isn't that men's cricket is different and women's a different one.

There will always be people who will criticise you without knowing the facts.

I do not make decisions based on emotion, because it is my career and I would like to be more practical when it comes to career.

All of us follow men's cricket because we want at some point that women's cricket would be up there.

As a batter, I would want to see that the best bowler is in my side so I don't have to face him.

Cricket was never my first choice. I never wanted to be a sportsperson. It just happened. It was destiny.

I would love to mentor youngsters.

Men's cricket sets the bar. We are always trying to reach where they set the standard.

Every time I am playing like this is my last game.
