Especially in a tournament which is to be held in Mumbai on high-scoring grounds, bowling a few quiet overs through the middle becomes imperative for any side to win games. Those spells also gave a glimpse of the leg-spinner’s ability when she is on song. The skill to move the new ball and present a good seam position at the age of 18 years makes her a unique talent. If Warriorz is looking for a calm head at the top to handle pressure she may be the ideal candidate.

WPL could be the right ground for funds and runs to flow, buoying up the sport as the (gentle) woman’s game. Bhairav Shanth, MD, ITW Consulting, says the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) should take WPL beyond the metros to smaller cities to give them a chance to consume live matches.

The franchisees know it is a long haul. Add to that franchisee sponsorship of Rs 15-20 crore and we are seeing a topline of only Rs 50-60 crore in the initial years. I am looking forward to the emergence of a lot of new talent.” The total bid for the five franchises for 10 years came to Rs 4,670 crore.

It’s a pointer not just to chronology — the first international women’s Test was in 1934, about 58 years after the men played theirs — but also to how the game is secondary, from pay to funding to visibility, when women come out to bat and bowl.

It was just plain breathtaking batsmanship, as good a T20 innings as you would see. Kaur’s magical innings, which brought back memories of Brendon McCullum’s explosive 156 off 73 balls which lit up the opening game of the IPL 15 years back in Bangalore, and her entertaining 89-run partnership for the fourth wicket in just 42 balls with the equally destructive New Zealander Amelia Kerr (45 not out, 24b, 6x4, 1x6), saw MI plunder 130 runs off their last 10 overs, 83 of those coming in the final 6.

"I'm really conscious around trying to turn the art of officiating into a science and seek perfection, whatever that looks like, with decision making," Taufel had said. Until now, players could only review on-field decisions for a dismissal but that will not be the case in the WPL and IPL going forward. For the first time in a T20 league, players will be allowed to review wide and no-ball decisions using DRS. "A player may also be allowed to review any decision taken by on-field umpires concerning wide or no-ball."
