Anjum Chopra
Anjum Chopra is a pioneering figure in Indian women’s cricket whose legacy transformed the sport’s landscape. A stylish left-hand batter and former captain, she was the first Indian woman to play 100 ODIs and one of the earliest to score over 2,000 ODI runs, setting benchmarks for consistency and leadership. Retired in 2012, her fearless approach, tactical brilliance, and calm presence on the field inspired a generation of cricketers. Beyond her unbreakable records and trailblazing milestones, Anjum’s significance lies in elevating women’s cricket at a time when visibility and support were minimal. Her contributions as a player, mentor, and commentator continue to empower and shape the future of women’s cricket in India.
