The National Finals of Red Bull Campus Cricket is on. In the women's final, Marwari College of Ranchi defeated Rizvi College of Mumbai and won the title. Indian women's team opener batsman Smriti Mandhana honored her.

Smriti said that campus cricket is being played for the last 11 years but earlier only boys used to come to compete. Girls are also playing in it for two years now and it is a big deal for all of us. A lot has changed in women's cricket in the last five years and now we are being seen on TV. Children get motivation from this that if you play well then you will play for the country. It's nice when they start playing cricket after seeing us. I started like this too. My brother used to play and I used to go there with Papa. If I wanted then I also started playing cricket. I am here today. This year is very special for all of us. The World Cup is also going to come along with the Commonwealth Games. We will try our best to perform well.
