In a historic move, hailed by many, The Indian Cricket Control Board (BCCI) and the richest cricket board in the world(Appreciable because India's colonial masters bought cricket to India!)
As per the head of Bcci (quoting here)
"The match fee for both men and women cricketers will be same as we move into a new era of gender equality in Indian cricket."
Truly a revolutionary step.
What do you say?

That's a true revolutionary step and quite welcomed one..It should happen in all areas of work.
I wish they would pay good to other sports. Cricket as such is over commercialized..Other sports need to get their due, especially athletes who comes from humble background and make country proud

Yes it was good but very hectic.
I had a good amount of driving and on 27th, I was on NH 48 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway). There was so so much traffic and on Delhi roads also.
I was physically and mentally exhausted!
But now getting some rest as of now.
The next week is going to be super busy work wise.

A revolutionary step, which many sports bodies around the world might not have taken.

that is an excellent step. This is not followed in bollywood. Akshay Kumar took 125 crores in the film Samrat Prithviraj. the film bombed in the box office. I dont think any of the actresses are even given 15 crores. At the same time they do equal hard work like the male superstars

125 Crores to a single actor is extravagant!!
That is not even the annual turnover of many Indian companies, where some folks work almost equally if not more hard than the actors.
