Anjum Chopra’s graceful left-handed batting often inspired comparisons with England stylist David Gower. But when it comes to speaking, Chopra is more like Virender Sehwag – rapid and off the front foot. The former captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, the daughter of a golfer father and a car rallyist mother, spoke to Outlook on issues concerning women’s cricket and broadcasting.
