“I was a little surprised but I was excited. Fortunately or unfortunately, I’ve been a professional athlete for 20 years. My next job is to try and help young women and young girls believe that sports can be one of the first career choices for them,” Mirza said in a chat with RCB after her appointment.

When asked about what she would bring on board for the Royal Challengers, Mirza stated, “(There are) so much commonalities (between cricket and tennis). Every athlete thinks the same way, they go through same kind of pressure. Just handling pressure situations, embracing them is very important. Pressire is a privelege, if you can’t embrace it, you can’t excel at it. The biggest of champions are those who can handle the pressure,” Mirza said.”

“That aspect of it, the mentla aspect is something I look forward to working with the girls. What IPL has done for men’s cricket, if that can be done for women’s cricket, playing sport can become a natural option for young girls.”
