By Anirudh Narayanan

With the cricket World Cup 2015 on in full force we look at the female fan following for the tournament. The gentleman's game as it is called sounds quite sexist. We don't intend on turning this into a male-female turf war. The guys who called cricket 'the gentleman's game' didn't even think it would be looked at from a sexist angle. But we are concerned for the female fans of the beautiful game. The ostracized for loving a game and looked at differently, as if it's a crime!

There are girls out there who love the game as much as the guys do. Even they are chanting 'India India' whenever our country is playing a cricket match. The World Cup 2015 fever gets to them too!

A lot of guys think that girls who do watch cricket, watch it for the handsome guys. Well, the girls wont deny that it's good to see good looking men fight it out in the middle.
