Shafali Verma

Arundhati Reddy was raised by a single mother and Radha Yadav is the daughter of a vegetable vendor. Meanwhile, Shafali Varma broke patriarchal norms, cut her hair and disguised herself as a boy all for the love of cricket

Verma's ingenious idea to circumvent this issue was to give Shafali a haircut that made her look like a boy. This allowed her to play every weekend.
