People do take women with a pinch of salt: Shantha Rangaswamy
TOI's Sports Guest Editor Shantha Rangaswamy, former India cricket captain & BCCI Apex Council member, says women are still not accorded equal status except at home...Shantha Rangaswamy is a pioneer in more ways than one. She is the first captain of the Indian women's Test team, the first Indian woman to score an international century, the first woman captain to win a Test, the first woman recipient of the Arjuna Award and even the first Indian woman to hit a six in international cricket. She is also not one to mince words, as we found out during a freewheeling interaction after she agreed to be TOI's Guest Editor for the day.

I'm glad they held their nerve and carved out a very impressive win, thanks mainly to the partnership between Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar. We mustn't ignore the efforts of the bowlers, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Rana. Jhulan, of course, we expect to do well. There were many pluses. There could not have been a better start.
