Indian tennis star Sania Mirza said on Wednesday that apart from cricket, there are more women sports superstars in the country, but it is also the responsibility of these women how they want to present themselves.

Sania said that about 32 years ago she started playing on a tennis court made of cow dung and used to take injections of tetanus as a precaution. Since then many women superstars have come out in the country.

She said in a panel discussion called ‘The Sports Woman’ here, “Then the only female superstar from India was PT Usha and we had just heard about her, never seen her because there was no social media, no media or any coverage at that time. ,

He said, “Today, when we go to the Olympics or out, perhaps three or four male cricketers are the biggest superstar women athletes in the sports of this country and it shows a lot in the last 50 years. ,

Sania said that women players of the country should insist on playing for themselves and representing their reputation instead of other expectations. He said, “Are we living in men’s world?” The answer is yes. Are we living in the world of men in terms of sports? The answer is yes. As a female representation, it is also the responsibility of us how we present ourselves. ,

India’s two -time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu said that if women athletes start thinking about the opinion of others, it can be harmful for a player.

He said, “You don’t need to worry or feel bad about what they (social media) think. Rather it means what you think and how you are feeling.
