Mumbai (Anil Bedag): Vice-captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, Smriti Mandhana once again won hearts with her inspiring presence beyond the cricket field. During the ‘Play in Comfort’ campaign held at Mena Devi Bajaj International School in Mumbai, Smriti interacted openly with young schoolgirls and female athletes, motivating them to continue participating in sports confidently even during periods.
