Indian Women’s Captain Mithali Raj has gifted a cricket bat to 9 month old Inaaya Naumi a full-sized, autographed bat.
Inaaya, the nine-month-old daughter of Bollywood couple Soha Ali Khan & Kunal Khemu, received an unusual gift this weekend.
Huge increases in female participation allied to a significant spike in funding has brought fresh impetus and energy to female cricket in India, and now Raj is hoping to inspire another young talent.
