Former player Amit Mishra expressed confidence that India's men's team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, is superior to arch-rivals Pakistan both on and off the field, despite some fielding challenges. On the women's side, the upcoming Women's World Cup co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka is seen as a potential transformative moment for women's cricket in India, with England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt highlighting the tournament's significance and the impact of the Women's Premier League in raising the sport's profile.
