She once borrowed shoes. Now she's donating spikes
BHOPAL: She's the youngest of six siblings. A class 8 dropout. A daughter of a dismissed policeman. A bowler with six English wickets and a nation watching. Cricketer Kranti Goud once bowled in hand-me-down shoes. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Today, the 21-year-old Indian women's team star wants to equip budding girl cricketers with premium spiked shoes - free of cost. Her drive? To ensure no girl with talent is benched by poverty. Goud from Ghuwara, a tribal-majority village in MP's Chhatarpur district, has secured a sponsorship deal with an international shoe brand - her first personal milestone off the pitch. On it, she's already made headlines: a searing 6/52 against England, her first five-wicket haul in ODIs, helped India seal the recent series in the third match. Goud's rise from rural Bundelkhand to the national spotlight is a tale stitched with adversity. Her father Munna Singh, a former MP police constable, was dismissed in 2012 during election duty. The family had to vacate their official quarters and shift to a rented home. Eldest brother Mayank dropped out of school to work. "We were in a lot of trouble," he said. "There were days we didn't have proper meals. People mocked us for letting Kranti pursue cricket, but somehow we held on." Coach Rajiv Bilthare took her in at his Sai Cricket Academy in Chhatarpur in 2017. "She came in worn-out clothes and regular shoes," he said. "Her father was jobless. Her family had nothing. I didn't charge her any fees. I gave her shoes, uniform, and even bought her gear." One memory stands out. "I gave her Rs 1,600 to buy cricket spikes. She lit up. Said it felt like a dream," Bilthare said. That dream carried Goud to the national squad. She now wants to help others walk the path - one pair of spiked shoes at a time. "It's time for me to give back to society," she said. "I want to buy a house for my family. That's first. But I also want girls at our academy to play without worrying about money. My assistance will help them focus on the game." The right-arm medium-fast bowler made her ODI debut against Sri Lanka on May 11 and her T20 international debut against England on July 12. She represents MP in domestic cricket and plays for UP Warriorz in Women's Premier League (WPL).

Walking into bat at 81/2 in the 18th over, she played a very calm and composed innings after the Mandhana and Harleen Deol got out. Kaur played a very balanced innings,starting cautiously, building momentum through the middle overs, and finishing with a flourish. Before she struck the first of her many elegant cover drives for four, she was on 0 after facing 10 balls. A 77-ball, 110-run partnership between Harmanpreet and Jemimah helped India to reach over 300 runs, with the latter once again providing much-needed momentum to the middle order.

As she had done in the Southampton series opener, she quickly removed both openers. Amy Jones was sent back early shortly after Kranti's second wicket, which came from a brilliant diving catch at short third by Deepti Sharma. With Kranti keeping her disciplined line and length and Sneh Rana bowling a couple of maiden overs, England managed just 5 runs between overs 5 and 9. Nat Sciver-Brunt's knock kept England's hopes alive as they recovered from their early collapse. But the momentum shifted back in India's favor when she was dismissed for 98 after being caught behind by Deepti Sharma. Before Kranti Goud returned for her final spell and took four more wickets Charlie Dean, Alice Davidson-Richards, Lauren Filer, and Lauren Bell, England's hopes of completing a record chase were still in the balance. In a closely contested match, India's fielding particularly Jemimah Rodrigues outstanding play also proved vital. In the end, India's advantage came from their high first-innings total, which Harmanpreet had emphasized prior to the series.

Why Harmanpreet Kaur Shared Her Player-Of-The-Match Award With Fast Bowler Kranti Goud

After the end of presentation ceremony, in a heartwarming gesture, Kaur announced she's going to share the player-of-the-match award with her young teammate whom she lavished with high praise. 'I want to share my player-of-the-match award with Kranti because she bowled one of the best spells of her career. It's a great achievement for a bowler. We've been dying for a fast bowler like you. Well done, Kranti you deserve it," Kaur said in a video shared by the BCCI.

The 21-year-old Goud is a right-arm fast bowler hailing from Madhya Pradesh. She made her ODI debut in May against Sri Lanka in Colombo. She played her maiden T20I against England in Birmingham earlier this month. Earlier this year, she represented UP Warriorz in the WPL 2025 where she took six wickets in what was her maiden campaign of career. Growing up, Kranti took interest in fast bowling after watching bhaiyas play tennis ball cricket. For a long time, she didn't know that there's something called spin bowling in cricket and that is the reason she developed an interest in fast bowling. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
