Femininity doesn't limit choice of profession: Smriti Mandhana

New Delhi, Sep 14: Smriti Mandhana, vice-captain of the Indian womens cricket team, has been a trailblazer for womens cricket in India. Having herself been a gender bender on the field, the 22-year-old sees cricket as – just a sport – and hates that the world at large still hasn't grown out of its limiting distinctions.

"I am fortunate that I come from a family that never distinguished between a boy and a girl. I had the freedom to choose my entire life and have been supported throughout by my family. However, when you step out into the world it seems very different.
