Priya Sharma is a senior cricket correspondent for The Indian Express, and one of the most respected voices covering women’s cricket in India. A graduate of Miranda House, she started her career in a newsroom dominated by men’s sport and deliberately chose to put women’s cricket at the centre of her reporting. Priya has chronicled the Indian women’s team through World Cups, the transformational arrival of the Women’s Premier League, and the quiet, determined rise of girls’ cricket in small towns and villages. Her long‑form profiles of cricketers like Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Renuka Singh are known for their depth and sensitivity. Beyond match reports, Priya writes regularly on media representation and the structural barriers women face in sports journalism. A recipient of the Ramnath Goenka Award and the Laadli Media Award, she believes that telling the full story of women’s cricket is not just a beat, but a responsibility.
