Edulji criticized BCCI as a "male-chauvinist organisation" that never wanted women in cricket. India defeated South Africa by 52 runs on Sunday, with Shafali Verma scoring 87 and Deepti Sharma taking 5/39. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur addressed criticism, emphasizing the importance of staying balanced through both success and failure, maintaining team unity regardless of circumstances.
